#540: 2016.01.17
listen to this edition here: 
http://www.frameworkradio.net/2016/01/540-2016-01-17/

this edition of framework:afield has been produced by john hopkins, aka 
neoscenes, and is entitled "water fills the hall". notes from the producer:

"water fills the hall" is a sustained drift through the 
hopkins/neoscenes personal archive of field recordings relating to 
water. There is no detailed playlist as the work is a multi-track 
layering of sources and includes essences of several hundred field 
recordings from four continents. Many of the individual field recordings 
are available on the aporee::maps (link: http://aporee.org/maps/) field 
recording project under the 'neoscenes' moniker.

To sketch a few: it opens in the Mojave desert, as flies collect around 
the body of a dead rattlesnake, the dry air desiccating the corpse; 
there is organ practice by the harbor in Sydney; and wandering through 
the Pergammon on the Spree; students protesting along the Vilna River; 
monsoon rains and thunders, falling and filling desert cisterns in the 
High Sonoran desert; telecom wires hum in moist Arctic chill; 
melt-waters slowly cleave the Rocky Mountains to dust; film projectors 
clatter while representing fluid realities (homage to mentor and friend, 
film-maker Stan Brakhage); Geiger counters count what heavy waters we’ve 
made; rains falls on the roofs of hydrocarbon-fired chariots; rivers 
rage, and whining pumps pump the rivers; while F-18s storm in the wet 
clouds overhead, and baptisms soulfully bless the swimming pools; a 
plague of cicadas stands ready for the waters to recede, and is it 
Noah's ark departing into an unknown future on the gray Baltic?

As a current and former resident of the US southwest with its tremendous 
water problems, the work is intended partly as a complex exploration of 
and meditation on water itself. Water in motion energetically yields 
sound; and thus, the work is about moving waters. Humans seek to direct 
those movements to their advantage with (lovingly graceful!) machinic 
systems, and in that lies a fundamental conflict. This is a mapping of 
that conflict: how the human species alters the flows of energy in the 
bio-system around itself.

The I Ching suggests that water simply flows, on and on, filling up all 
the places through which it moves. Nothing can make it lose its own 
essential nature: it remains true to itself under all conditions. What 
are we in the face of such an energized flux? Are we advancing or are we 
retreating with the tide? Will the rain wash our sins away? If we can 
swim, will we drown? Do we recall our amphibian soul? Are we thirsty for 
more? Are we simply thirsty?
