this edition of framework:afield has been produced anonymously and 
features sounds from the ongoing democracy protests in hong kong. for 
more information about these protests see https://hkrev.info. production 
notes:

"A compilation of recordings taken during the ongoing protests in Hong 
Kong. These protests began in March 2019, originally catalysed by the 
proposed introduction of an extradition bill between Hong Kong and 
Mainland China, which was felt to threaten local judicial independence. 
The initial demand to withdraw this bill has since then been 
supplemented by four additional demands, including an independent 
investigation into the police who have come in for heavy criticism for 
their tactics. This recording places a focus on voices, the shouts and 
slogans that populate the sonic environment of the protests, as well as 
the words of the protestors themselves as they express their hopes and 
frustrations with the situation in Hong Kong. A group decision was made 
not to name any participants, to protect their identities."

again, we are always looking for new material, whether raw field 
recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction 
submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of 
our guest curated framework:afield series. send proposals or material, 
released or not, on any format, to the address at the bottom of this 
mail. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

lost… Let’s see… let’s see why people are persisting so far. Let’s think

HongKongers! We have to save Hong Kong by ourselves. Never give up!
