This week we pay special tribute to the life and work of the pioneering composer éliane radigue, who passed away in paris on the 23rd of february at the age of 94.

i can't overstate the extent of radigue's importance and influence to the world of experimental music and experimental […]

in this edition great sounds from old friend richard francis; finally, a proper dose of the radiophonic work of chloé despax (whose aporee contributions have featured on the program over many years); a new album of collaborative works from fletina; short works from daniel ottini and sem zeeman; recent listener-chosen […]

two new releases (actually one new, one upcoming) that i'm really excited about this week: first, the latest work by irish composer karen power, who stunned us with her album …we return to ground… a year or two back; this one is a collaboration with vocalist loré lixenberg, whose voice […]

great sounds this week from old favorites éric la casa (with seijiro murayama) and maggi payne, and new(er) favorites giselle and franki wals (with chang deng-yao). éric and seijiro tour paris making short vocal interventions and capturing the results. giselle documents her local nebraska environment with field recordings, scattered instruments […]

after taking a break for our aporee soundmaps segment to end the year, we made up for it in this show, celebrating the start of 2026 with a collection of recordings from the maps made either on new year's eve or on new years day. so, yes, lots of fireworks […]

so here it is, folks, the last show for 2025. 41 shows this year, if i've counted correctly, which is precisely 2419 minutes of framework radio, 1209.5 per ear. that's how it works, right? at this time of year, we hope to appeal to our listeners' generous (or perhaps slightly […]

this week's sounds are somehow so warming, so comforting, they seemed right for the onset of winter. although there's no longer any snow on the ground here, it's been grey and rainy forever and we haven't seen the sun in weeks. meanwhile the days, for the next few weeks, are […]

several contrasting strategies in this week's show: we hear pristine unaltered (but skillfully organised) natural sounds by martina testen and simon šerc, whose nocturnal forest recordings were gathered over 10 years in slovakia and italy; memory-driven collages of human activity by the great brunhild ferrari, who tells us: “this piece […]

so what have we got in show #950 - a spectacular upcoming release of industrial textures (out in a few days on november 14th) from the great helen scarsdale agency by manchester-based jo montgomerie (the release page isn't up yet on their bandcamp page, so we've just listed the label and […]

i mistakenly announced that this week's intro was recorded in the united states for some reason, je ne sais pas pourquoi, as we are very clearly in france, so sorry about that. perhaps it was because the french café-goers were quickly transported into the cicada drones of missouri, as we […]
