Hello Friends:
I will be doing a show for framework:afield which is broadcast every other week in London on Resonance FM. The topic of my show is Acoustic Ecology — I describe some of its origins and theories and play works from Annea Lockwood, Hildegard Westerkamp, Francisco Lopez, Iannis Xenakis, John Cage, and Anna Friz. The show will broadcast first on Resonance FM in London on Sunday, March 8th at 10pm local (London) time, and then also on Radio Zero in Lisbon, and Radio Campus in Brussels during the week –so if you are in any of those fine cities, do tune in! It will also stream and podcast all week from the framework website, starting Monday the 9th. Below are links, the playlist and another brief show description all of which are also on the framework site as well.
I hope you can tune in!!!
JF
