I discovered records as a creative medium several decades ago… and I seem to return to them as I had many floating around and many that were never going to be played again. It seemed that everytime I would settle on a method or style it would lead me down another rabbit hole of improvisation. Paint, glue, bending, drilling. Suffice to say, there were infinite possibilities. Here are a few of the incarnations of the record.
And…off the record, I will say I see no end in sight to the possibilities.
What you see is pop, it used to spin…A piece of vinyl, with a scratch begs to be played again. Either it won’t play or someone has deemed it is not worthy to play. It has asked me to give it life. Give it worth. Cautiously I agreed, then understand its new value and joy.
