*#269: 2010.01.31

*first off, if you remember the troubles we were having with the 
frameworkradio domain last week, i can now happily announce that 
everything is now resolved, all emails are getting through to the proper 
addresses, and all websites are where they should be.  sorry for the 
confusion over those 10 days or so - again, if you tried to get in touch 
with me at a frameworkradio address from around the 18th of januray 
until now, it's possible i didn't receive your mail.  this shouldn't 
happen again; my dns hosting is now in a much more reliable and stable 
place and should that should remain that way for the foreseeable future.

this week's edition of /*framework:afield*/ was produced in boston, 
massachusetts, usa, by *michael bullock*.  for more information visit 
his website at http://www.finenoiseandlight.net.  mike says:

    This program is a suite of accidental or overheard performances:
    Street musicians warming up in Amsterdam.  Mighty pipe organs being
    tuned or practiced.  The effervescence of street fairs celebrating
    two kinds of New Years: January 1 in Salzburg, and Diwali in Queens,
    NY.  These events and others are framed by operational misfires:
    user errors on the part of the recordist, hitting record and pause
    at the wrong times.  And in the center, a shadowy journey through an
    altered radio landscape in rural New York.

    Part 1 (1"-17"): Churches

    Nantes - Cathédrale Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul; Paris - Église
    Sainte-Sulpice

    What cathedrals sound like between masses: choirs heard through the
    door, organs being practiced or tuned.

    A few coins are dropped in a metal box.

    Part 2 (17"-25"): Markets

    Amsterdam - Rembrandtsplein and environs

    Street musicians prepare to have a few coins dropped in their
    instrument cases.

    Paris - flea market at Place Monge

    User error.  Trumpeters play along with a CD regardless.

    intermission (25"-42"): New York

    Accra, NY - Evidence performance at Wave Farm

    The source material are micro-transmissions of original music by
    Evidence, picked up on two radios carried around WaveFarm's fields
    at night.  The act of tuning mixes multiple micro-transmissions. 
    Other sounds come from cicadas, whispers, and the sound of the
    recorder's mics rubbing against the inside of a jacket pocket.

    Manhattan - Max Neuhaus' Times Square installation

    User error.  The street hums on regardless.

    Part 3 (42"-55"): New Years

    Queens, NY - Diwali street festival

    Salzburg - New Year's Eve

    The city of Mozart is overwhelmed by live rock bands on New Year's
    Eve, 2005-2006.  We escape to the castle overlooking the city and
    listen to techno and church bells float up to us from below.  The
    night winds down to a lone guitarist and the sounds of oversized
    chess pieces in a public square.

    Thanks to Evidence (Scott Smallwood and Stephan Moore) and
    free103point9's Wave Farm in Accra, NY].   Also thanks to Linda
    Aubry Bullock who helped me record several of the clips.
