/*framework*/ - phonography / field recording; contextual and 
decontextualized sound activity
presented by patrick mcginley

this week's edition of */framework:afield/* was produced as a 
collaboration between japanese sound artist *rie nakajima*, london-based 
piano tuner *ken bodden*, and yours truly.  it is based on an 
installation nakajima made using recordings of bodden at work - she 
followed him to several jobs, made close up recordings of the tuning 
process, and played the recordings back, one per speaker, simultaneously 
in a single room.  the ensuing collage, far from cacophonous as one 
would expect, follows a beautiful progression of harmonics and 
crescendos, and creates surprising tonal patterns as bodden makes his 
way through the scale.  when i heard the piece, i knew it needed to be 
broadcast.  for the radio we took the project one step further, 
conducting a series of interviews with bodden in which he describes in 
detail the tuning process (much of which, to the uninitiated, is 
difficultly understood, but fascinating in its complexity), his history 
as a tuner, and his interest in nakajima's project, while nakajima 
herself describes her conception of the piece, and her initial 
fascination when she was made aware of the commonality of blind piano 
tuners in the uk.  this is really a fascinating piece - if you don't 
listen to the show regularly, here's a good place to start.

again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw 
field recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction 
submissions.  we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of 
our guest curated series.  send proposals or material, released or not, 
on any format, to the address below.  if you have any questions, please 
don't hesitate to get in touch!
