<b>#283: 2010.05.09<br>
<br>
</b>this edition of <i><b>framework:afield</b></i> has been produced
in the uk by regular contributor
<b>felicity ford</b>, and is a radio version of her interpretation of <b>alvin
lucier</b>'s <i><b>gentle fire</b></i>:<br>
<br>
</small></font>
<blockquote><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">This radio
show has been based around recordings made by Felicity Ford for a
recent performance of Alvin Lucier's <i>Gentle Fire</i>.<i> Gentle
Fire</i>
is a score written by Alvin Lucier in 1971, and it explicitly details
the process of collecting sounds that is familiar to all
field-recordists. <br>
<br>
</font></small>
<blockquote><small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><i>Collect,
on
tape,
examples of ambient sound events such as those made by <br>
<br>
Screeching Brakes, Chattering Guests, Warring Gangs, Rioting Prisoners,
Stalling Motors etc.<br>
<br>
Using
an electronic music synthesiser or any equivalent configuration of
electronic components, process the examples in such a way that they
become transformed into what could be perceived as sound events of
different origin such as those made by<br>
<br>
Ocean Waves, Wind in Trees, Flowing Streams, Boiling Tea, Cooing Doves
etc.<br>
<br>
For example, Snarling Dogs become Crunching Snow; Crashing Planes,
Laughing Girls; and Manoeuvring Tanks, Ocean Waves.<br>
<br>
Record
these transformations…in any sequence or any number of channels, using
any manner of mixing, overlapping…taking care only that the process of
change from each original sound event to its final state of
transformation is slowly, gradually and clearly heard…<br>
<br>
- excerpt from the prose score, Gentle Fire<br>
</i></font></small></blockquote>
<small><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
Using the prose score as a guide, Felicity Ford has been collecting
sounds for <i>Gentle Fire</i> for two and a half years. <br>
<br>
Trying
to change one sound into another is a process that makes us think about
surface quality and texture, space and duration. To make Droning
Turbines sound like Sounding Dolphins is not easy, and so far methods
for collecting such sounds as Frowning Clowns and Spurting Blood have
proved elusive. However, hopefully trying to change sounds in this way,
searching for rare or potentially inaudible sounds, or even imagining
what such sources would sound like, expands our ideas of what the
mind’s ear is capable of.<br>
<br>
