This edition of framework:afield has been produced by students of the University of the Arts, The Hage, in conjunction with Raviv Ganchrow’s Aural Tectonics seminar at the Institute of Sonology.

Tramway, 00:55:00, Two channel audio

The following piece is the outcome of an intensive exploration of Den Haag’s tramway. This expansive public transport network, crisscrossing the Dutch administrative capital, constitutes a site where distinctive trolley acoustics cross-fade with every-day rituals, subjective experiences and abstract temporalities. Taking the tram as a ‘site’ rather than merely a sounding object, permits an exploration of the various realms in which this specific form of transport is invested. Each of the eleven contributions, in this fifty-five minute sequence, explore a dedicated context of tramway audibility by developing diverse strategies of recording, editing, audio tweaking as well as sonic intervention. The result is a journey through various manifestations of the Den Haag tramway. From textural and rhythmic studies; to spatiotemporal and psychogeographic mappings; to social contexts and imaginary narratives; the tram is guided along diverse realities that are none the less firmly set in audible tracks.

this was a fun show to make – revisiting the great and/oar compilation another kind of language (originally from 2003, now re-released with an extra disc), explored two great new lps from invisible birds, swimming in the buzzing of one of framework’s newest contributors, and my always-favorite segment of the most recent uploads to the aporee soundmaps.

someone asked recently if there was, somewhere online, a 24/7 stream of field recording radio, and it dawned on me that maybe some of you don’t know about aporee’s radio project (hopefully you all know about the maps by now). radio aporee is a 24/7 interactive radio stream, playing a constant mix of sounds from the maps, with occasional interjections from live streaming boxes from around the world, live phone connections, and realtime reactions to where listeners are connecting from. it’s amazing, and when you’re not listening to framework, you should be listening to it. it’s here, and it’s what’s on in our house all the time:
