Background
Featuring juried work by international sound artists, Framework Radio is available in four versions.
framework:regular
framework:afield (curated by guest international sound artists)
framework:seasonal
framework:ephemera
With each version, the goal is to present the extremely diverse sound environments of our world, and the extremely diverse work that is being produced by the artists who choose to use these environments as their sonic sources. The research and creative question behind Framework Radio programming asks, "Is field recording a style or genre, or rather an uncontrollable and undefinable tool as any, that may be interpreted, manipulated, and appropriated by anyone with a microphone and idea?" Works produced in response to this question are the answer, the definition, not vice versa.
