lathe-cut records (as time travelling device)
// collaborative sound installation + recording booth// w/ Owen Chapman // 2023 - Ongoing
This series of workshops and sound installations works with participants to explore the philosophy and practice of creating limited series lathe-cut records as a way to message the future. Using our trusty Masco RK-5 portable “suitcase cutter” record lathe and riffing on those other records that have been sent out to voyage into the cosmos, this project turns to the lathe-cut process to ask questions about (all-too-linear forms of) temporality and (plastic) futurity, about the materiality of sonic expression (only some of which we can hear), and about the limits, but also potentials, of the very desire, and thus ambition, of messaging the future.
