#529: 2015.10.18

after a month on the road (business and pleasure) we’re back home in estonia now, where there’s a new-found chill in the air, but there’s still time for the late-season mushrooms in our nearby forest. after a few days dealing with our twelve apple trees we managed to find a colony of funnel chanterelles not yet damaged by the frost. oh yes, and we listened to some new sounds as well…

upon our return we found a small pile of recent releases from the french baskaru waiting for us – in the days of virtual sounds it’s nice to come home to some actual physical objects, with artwork on paper and uncompressed sound. with those we heard a few lovely unreleased works sent to us recently, and another great episode from one of our favorite podcasters, nula.

#528: 2015.10.11 [d.l. lutz]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in germany by regular contributor d. l. lutz. notes from the producer:

Earscape:Stellar

In outer space, there is absolute silence – because of the lack of air that could carry sound waves. But it is very intriguing to imagine a music of the spheres, with the “chords” added by man’s attempts to enter this space: the harshness, coldness, absurdity, emptiness of the cosmos. Two main musical sources served as paths into this realm: Biosphere’s much underrated masterpiece “Autour de la Lune”, sampling MIR station sounds and snippets from a radio play of Jules Verne’s “From The Earth To The Moon” (1865), commissioned by Radio France Culture in 2003, and Marc Weidenbaum’s “Disquiet Junto Challenge” #89 dealing with Voyager One’s last signals before it disappeared from NASA’s radars, resulting in many individual musical answers from which I chose a couple of my favourites. Much of the noises heard are of technical nature, but there is also improv jazz, drones, radio excerpts, early computer music, all trying to illustrate man’s alienation when confronted with the cold light of stars. Have a good journey and return safely to mother earth!
