vinyl

humans dig linear time and like to see/hear evidence of its ‘passage’

compression sound of vinyl = shock of the immediate, crackles the graded accumulation of time tachyons

digital formats with their on/off binary ok/fucked oppositions don’t indicate ‘human’ as commonly perceived in relation to ‘progress’

just a buzzin fly

tape loop 2

the original found tape isn’t altered except to cut out this section and stick the ends together. ok, that’s a pretty destructive alteration, I’m an anti-archivist. it’s 2 track tape played on a 1 track tape recorder. you get both sides of the tape,recorded off the radio sometime in the 1970s at a guess, playing forwards and backwards simultaneously in serendipitous superimposition.

this loop got dragged across floor at Roxy Bar & Screen, stood upon by many drunks in boots, severely crumpled. I like these kind of unplanned sonic adjustments.
