framework - phonography/field recording; contextual and decontextualized sound activity
presented by patrick mcginley

this edition was held together with the second cd compilation of themed untreated field recordings we've received from the small new zealand claudia label, this one called witching hour and themed on nighttime recordings (we heard one track from this by felicity ford a few weeks ago).  there are some incredibly beautiful recordings in here, from all over the world, from scandinavian midnight suns to west african crickets to pakistani muezzins.  nice stuff.

we also heard another untreated recording by malaysian sound artist yeoh yin pin, composition on ground fault by phroq, extracts from a1996 radio mix by dutch digital artist cym, and a number of short tracks by a berlin-based artist we met on a recent trip to germany, sinebag.

we finished off this edition with a recording i've been meaning to play since we began broadcasting in 2002, and which was recently brought back to my attention by a mention on the phonography (http://www.phonography.org) mailing list - i've forgotten who is was who made this post, but thank you!  i first came across this recording in my university library in 1991, as part of a 4 cd compilation accompanying an ethnomusicology textbook entitled worlds of music: an introduction to the music of the world's peoples.  the recording, made by american ethnomusicologist james koetting in 1975, is absolutely mind-boggling: in a post office at the university of ghana countless workers are manually cancelling stamps, presumably for hours on end.  to pass the time they have developed an inherent music in their actions; they bring their stamps down onto the envelopes at hand at incomprehensibly complicated intervals to create an incredible and ever-shifting syncopation, all the while whistling, in multipart harmony, parts to an old ghanaian hymn...  if you can't track this book down, i believe this recording may be available online somewhere, if you do a bit of hunting - it's well worth it!

again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw field recordings, field recording based composition or introduction submissions.  send material, released or not, on any format, to the address below.   we are also hoping to have live performances as often as possible, so if you are in or passing through london please get in touch!
