#431: 2013.07.28
listen to this edition here:
well folks, this is our last edition before of usual annual summer
break. we'll be taking the month of august off, giving you a few weeks
to explore the almost 300 editions of framework available on our
website, and hopefully giving us a bit of time as well to upload a few
more (still 150 to go that haven't made it online yet!). have a great
august and we'll see you in september!
this edition of framework:afield has been produced my myke dodge
weiskopf in the u.s., using sounds recorded in socotra. for more
information see his website at http://www.myke.me. about the program, in
his own words:
"The archipelago of Socotra lies between the Horn of Africa and the
Arabian Peninsula in the Indian Ocean. It consists of four islands,
three of which are populated by humans. There are some 50,000 people on
the main island, which is also called Socotra. The natives are called
the Socotri people, and they are principally derived from Arabian stock,
although certain villages also contain significant South and East
African populations. Socotra has been under the governance of South
Yemen, and later the Republic of Yemen, since 1967.
"If the average Westerner knows anything about Socotra, it usually has
to do with the landscape. Put the name into any search engine, and one
finds countless images of the iconic inverted umbrella of the
dragon's-blood tree; the plump, fat-bottomed cucumber tree; or the
blindingly white sand dunes of the Southern coast. The archipelago is
also known for its endemism, including a striking assortment of birds
and reptiles which are found only on the islands.
"But for all the breathtaking imagery of Socotra, almost nobody has
spent time recording the songs, stories, and sounds of Socotra. The few
recordings made by musicologists during the Twentieth Century are locked
away in academic and folkloric archives, unavailable to the casual
listener. Even the filmmakers who have lately swarmed to Socotra's
shores have neglected to spend any serious amount of time speaking with,
or listening to, the average Socotri.
"This edition of framework:afield will take you around the island of
Socotra through the work, play, performance, poetry, and folklore of its
people. You'll hear from fishermen, shepherds, drummers, flute players,
religious leaders, and even young children. This material was recorded
over two weeks in March 2013 and is being premiered for the very first
time on this edition of framework:afield." - Myke Dodge Weiskopf
Recorded by Myke Dodge Weiskopf on Socotra, March 2013. [http://www.myke.me]
again, we are always looking for new material, whether raw field
recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction
submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of
our guest curated framework:afield series. send proposals or material,
released or not, on any format, to the address at the bottom of this
mail. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
