#572: 2016.10.30 [thomas park]

this edition of framework:afield has been produced in the united states by thomas park, aka mystified. for more information see his website at http://www.mystifiedmusic.com.

notes from the producer:

I call these sounds a ‘Music Of Poverty’– that seems apt, given that they were recorded in my low-rent apartment in South Saint Louis many years ago, when I had little money– and more time to record. Taken individually or mixed, I feel these recordings convey some sense of place, and of lifestyle. They also capture quite literally some of the peculiar sounds I found at Brannon and Chippewa. Listen, and imagine you are alone in the city, and poor– with only the leaky pipes as your companion.

no sooner have we begun describing estonian autumn than winter hits with a bang – october 25th and the ground is already white with snow! will it last is the next question, perhaps autumn will return…

meanwhile our aporee soundmaps segment provides us with some decidedly un-wintery sounds this week, with south african dawn choruses, australian spring winds, american wildlife… we are also following an unusual boat, inhabited by the two artists who are kg augenstern, on a trip from berlin to paris, which has been decked out with long antennae (‘tentacles’) to ‘play’ the bridges that it passes under along the way. and we return to an older work that we never got to by one of our favorite artists, as mark vernon presents us his static cinema. we also sample the first sounds to land on our airwaves from belarus, from the haze netlabel, some collaborative sounds by peter kutin, florian kindlinger and christina kubisch, and a documentation of a performance in poznan, poland by uro ruro, recorded by monika pich.

autumn is falling here in southeast estonia: leaves are no longer green and frost is coming. lots to do to prepare for winter – apples to gather, firewood to stack, last mushrooms to hunt… autumn prevails in this week’s show, if not literally in the recordings, then somehow in the mix. stay warm and enjoy.

mode analogue starts us off with a wonderful framework introduction recorded in cambodia; alan courtis, from argentina, has collaborated with the american artist cyrus pireh to extract sounds from a bottle of malbec wine; mblackwell constructs a collage of his spanish field recordings; jana irmert presents her debut album of field recordings and vocal textures; dawn scarfe contributes her chapter to simon whetham’s corollaries series of collaborative works from estonia; michael gebel brings us some found sounds and moments from his immediate environment; and the aporee soundmaps provide us with another set of recent favorites, including our first ever recording from the united arab emirates.
