#395: 2012.11.04

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in the uk by regular 
contributor felicity ford. for more information see her website at 
http://www.felicityford.co.uk. from the producer:

This radio show was produced as research/preparation for a forthcoming 
presentation by Prof. Paul Whitty, Dr Felicity Ford and Andrea Zarza 
Canova at the British Forum for Ethnomusicology's forthcoming annual 
conference. Their joint presentation will relate specifically to "Making 
Sonic Time Capsules", and many of the ideas in this radio show were 
developed through discussions between Whitty, Ford, and Zarza Canova 
regarding Sonic Time Capsules.
