this edition of framework:afield has been produced in canada by france jobin. after a six-year hiatus, this is the latest installment in her ongoing series these are a few of my favorite things. producer’s notes:
france jobin – my favorite things (Installment #10)
Bonjour, I am france jobin, welcome to these are a few of my favorite things.
As mentioned in earlier installments, my interpretation of field recording based works is very broad. however, the thread I like to follow is to find artists who have mastered their unique identity through the music of sound.
In the last 4 years, I have spent a lot of time in the Abruzzo region of Italy. With this edition of my favorite things, it is my pleasure to showcase the sound artists of this region.

In spanish only:
Escuchando desde adentro – La arquitectura del sonido y nuestras expectativas.
La instalación, la música y elementos visuales inspirados por la arquitectura y el manejo del espacio, convergen en el trabajo de France Jobin, artista sonora, compositora y curadora de Canadá. Es reconocida por sus “esculturas sonoras” en tiempo real que revelan una aproximación minimalista a paisajes sonoros complejos, mezclando influencias digitales y analógicas.
En este taller, la artista introducirá su práctica, específicamente los aspectos alusivos al sonido y los espacios; las relaciones de estos sonidos con la música tradicional, el cine y otras características de la experiencia de la percepción sonora en su sentido abierto a las diferentes formas de la escucha.
“La sinestesia que se produce en los espacios arquitectónicos es la la fuerza que me impulsa a explorar el sonido. Mientras un arquitecto hace diseños pensados para ocupar un espacio, yo me intereso por elaborar esculturas de sonido que encajan en la fluidez del tiempo y la percepción. El entorno, por ejemplo, le da forma y un carácter arquitectónico a mis piezas y a su sonoridad. Por otro lado, cuando hago instalaciones y conciertos tiendo a ubicar parlantes en lugares específicos que tienen correlación con la arquitectura del espacio. De esta manera logro esculturas sonoras que no son necesariamente objetuales”.
July 20th 2018
She will also present Inter/sperse* at Domo del Planetario as part of the program Micro-estruendos en el domo.
Artistas: Carmen Gil Vrojlik (COL) · France Jobin (CAN) · Merino (COL)
In spanish only:
Un vuelo por el espacio fulldome, microsonido y ambient en el Domo del Planetario, hoy espacio de tradición en nuestra celebración anual. Concierto de cierre de la Semana de la Escucha 2018, una exploración abierta de la escucha en la inmersión y la quietud.
Esta propuesta para el formato fulldome parte como un vuelo por el espacio, por la representación en diferentes culturas de constelaciones como dioses y seres híbridos que a su vez se unen con los humanos y crean otros seres, que se aparean con bestias y crean otras bestias, que a su vez arrasan con su entorno. ¿Qué pasa con el híbrido que se cruza con otro híbrido?
“Ser afectado por la sinestesia en una forma positiva con respecto a los espacios arquitectónicos, es la fuerza que me impulsa a crear exploraciones con sonido. Un arquitecto diseña trabajos que ocupan un espacio; Yo diría que me encargo de construir esculturas sonoras que encajan con el flujo del tiempo y la percepción. Para mi, el entorno arquitectónicamente moldea las piezas y cómo deberán ser escuchadas.” – France Jobin

ARTISTES EN PERFORMANCE CE 4 MAI
Simon Chioini – “Sans titre 3 et 4” (2018)
Venu à la musique par la percussion, l’électroacousticien Simon Chioini compose une musique qui fait écho aux pionniers du genre autant qu’aux courants contemporains d’une musique électronique underground. “Sans titre 3 et 4” (2018) présentent des sonorités dont la pureté contraste avec un foisonnement bruité.
France Jobin – “24-45” (2018)
Artiste audio qui se distingue par une approche minimaliste d’environnements sonores complexes à l’intersection de l’analogue et du numérique, France Jobin fait entendre de véritables sculptures sonores. Sa pièce “24-45” (2018) mêle hauteurs et amplitudes dans un ballet visant à déstabiliser la perception de l’auditeur.
Dominic Thibault – “VCS3 remix” (2018)
La musique du codirecteur du label The Silent Howl se situe à la croisée de la musique concrète, du techno minimal et du paysage sonore. “VCS3 remix” (2018) est une version écourtée du disque du même nom, sur lequel toute la musique est composée uniquement à l’aide de sons générés par le synthétiseur EMS VCS3
Robert Normandeau – “La part des anges” (2011-12)
L’un des fondateurs d’AKOUSMA, Robert Normandeau consacre la majeure partie de son travail à la musique acousmatique, de même qu’à l’enseignement (Université de Montréal). Sa pièce La part des anges (2011-12) est construite à partir d’échantillonnages de chants a capella.
Live 6 channel concert at PICA – March 23rd – 6:00 pm

Panel: Exploring Sonic Practices March 24th 3:30 -5:30
Subharmonic: A Sonic Arts Symposium spans two immersive days of interactive workshops, thought-provoking panels, and live performances for artists and audiences of all experience levels to explore, discuss, and engage with a broad range of contemporary and experimental sound art and its influences. Programs will touch on electronic and noise music, video and light installation, film and video, space and architecture, racial and gender equity in the field, and more.
Both local and global critical ideas and creative practices will be shared, with a keynote presentation by sound art curator and practitioner France Jobin (Montréal) and performances and conversations featuring numerous local artists. Collaboratively curated by a consortium of local arts organizations and collectives, the full scope of symposium activity reflects a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices in sound art and highlighting the depth and diversity of sonic art landscape, practices, and communities in Portland and beyond.

December 18.2017 – 22:40 – RADIO-TELEVIZIJA SRBIJE
U večerašnjoj emisiji predstavićemo ostvarenja kanadske autorke Frans Žoben, pre svega numere sa njenog najnovijeg albuma „Scene”, kao i sa ostvarenja „Singulum” i „Bez repera”.
Frans Žoben je umetnica i kompozitorka iz Montreala, koja se bavi i stvaranjem elektronskih kompozicija i zvučnih instalacija, u koje inkorporira muzičke i vizuelne elemente inspirisane arhitekturom. Njena dela su izlagana širom sveta, a takođe je objavljivala za neke od vodećih kuća posvećenih elektronskoj muzici poput Bake/Štalplat, RumForti, Baksaru, Mjutek i drugih, sarađujući sa Štefanom Matjuom, Rijodžijem Ikedom, Markom Felom i Ričardom Šartijeom. Dobitnica je prestižne kanadske nagrade Opus za koncert godine u okviru kategorije elektroakustike, za nastup na festivalu AKUZMA 8.
Album Scene ova umetnica je objavila 17. novembra za kuću L-INE Imprint. Ovo ostvarenje je posvećeno finskom muzičaru Miki Vainiju, koji je preminuo u aprilu, i koji je bio njen dobar prijatelj. Žoben je kao jedino obrazloženje ponudila sledeće reči: „Značaj promene je nepromenljivo, pod uslovima linearnog vremena, večnost će doneti utehu”.
