about

Back in 2009 I created my framework250 track from sound recordings collected from a trip to one single destination, over a brief few days. For this celebration of framework’s 500th edition I decided to collage sounds together from many different places, recorded at many different times since 2009.

But on reflection, I can now hear from these recordings that when I travel, I often search out sounds from similar types of places. And many of those captured sounds themselves have been resounding in those localities for tens or even hundreds of years. The ‘evening echo’ man is still on his corner outside the GPO in Cork city each afternoon. The clock mechanism that turns the ‘four-faced liar’ has been ticking and tocking since 1854. The temple chanting and church masses have echoed in the same buildings for hundreds of years. Time is passing – a drop at a time. So many echoes.

Sound sources are:

- dripping tap – Wat Phothivihan temple, Kelantan Malaysia
- roadsign flapping in the wind – PC beach, Kota Bahru Malaysia
- newspaper salesman – Cork Ireland
- silk loom – Bangkok Thailand
- monks lifting poles (photo) – Namdroling monastery, Bylakuppe India
- shaking fortune telling sticks – Singapore
- bells and hooping – Mamangam Pillayar Koyi temple, Betacaloa Sri Lanka
- monks chanting – Drapolong monastery India
- Sunday church service – St Cataleja Old Goa India
- St Annes church bell and clock mechanism – Cork Ireland
- nuns chanting – Namdroling monastery, Bylakuppe India
