this is our 3rd edition of framework:ephemera, our new occasional series of shows featuring selections from the personal collection of an artist who has invited us into his or her home or studio. in this edition we visited ernst karel in boston, who selected some great sounds for us: a release on smithsonian folkways‘ archival series from another [...]

hands to – cicuye many self-released works this week, one re-release, and one cd from the always-impressive 23five label, who this time brings us the very-appropriate-for-radio-broadcast work areal by richard garet, constructed from radio frequency recordings. the re-release, on the net label yugen art, is from jeph jerman’s project hands to, a cassette which originally appeared on his own animist recordings [...]

a baltic heavy edition this week, with john grzinich (estonia), sala (lithuania), a work by auvikogue constructed from recordings made in latvia, and a work by jez riley french featuring recordings made in estonia. phew. i actually mistakenly announced that auvikogue was latvian during the show, but that was a mistake – the source material for diena nakotne was recorded there [...]

textures that somehow match the season this week – when we were mixing this show it was warm and sunny, and now, a few days later, the skies have opened up and we are swimming in spring rain. so sounds this time around that are maybe a little less calm, maybe to catch you off [...]

this is our final edition of our spring fundraiser and focus on the framework:seasonal #2, spring 2012 release, featuring the last 3 tracks from the compilation by camilla hannan, pali meursault, and lasse-marc riek, and reminding you loudly, frequently and incessantly: we need you! framework is not free to produce, but it is free to hear, and therefore we rely on your [...]

we are just entering one of my favorite weeks, always a great celebration of coming spring, worldfilm fesitval week, tartu’s great festival of visual culture. probably a bit far for most framework listeners to travel too, but seriously, if you’re in estonia or nearby, consider spending a day or two here. festival passes are cheap, and anyway [...]

another slow burn show this week with some amazing sounds from a few artists new to the show (vahram muradyan,mimosa | moize, kirill platonkin, des coulam), along with some long-time regulars (doug haire, sala, cedric anglaret). but first i feel i must pay homage to one of our new discoveries – it was several months ago that the great gruenrekorderlabel [...]

the cold is sticking here in tartu, where it’s been between -20 and -30 celsius for more than a week. it becomes a full-time job keeping these wood-heated houses warm at times like these. so some long, slow, warm sounds this week with many harmonic tones from aymeric de tapol, scott sherk and yours truly, murmer. i try [...]

this edition features a great mix of physical and online works, released and unreleased, from the likes of dallas simpson, the great british binaural sound spatial improviser; david velez, columbian-born new york-based phonographic collager, released on the great and extremely limited belgian mystery sea label; another release from ben owen‘s always beautifully packaged winds measure label, featuring a live performance [...]
