[Frameworks] the Frampton film...

[Steve Polta]

...to which  Tom Whiteside refers is *Ordinary Matter (Hapax Legomena V)*.
The soundtrack indeed consists of a booming male voice reciting a Chinese
language syllabary and is also double-system sound (i.e. sound on "tape;"
film is projected at 16/18fps btw). I believe that this soundtrack was
recorded by Frampton for this film and would likely not be considered
"found sound."
