I
have also been working on a series of molded records based on Rainer Maria Rilke's essay entitled Primal Sound."What is it that repeatedly presents itself to my mind?
it is this: the coronal suture of the skull(this would first have to be investigated) has–let us assume–a certain similarity to the closely wavy line which the needle of a phonograph engraves on the receiving, rotating cylinder of the apparatus. what if one changed the needle and directed it on its return journey along a tracing which was not derived from the graphic translation of a sound, but existed of itself naturally–well: to put it plainly, along the coronal suture, for example. what would happen?"
This has also led me to recast the Doc Martens I bought in 1986 in record albums, Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's These Boots.
The boots made an earlier appearance in 2008's St. Antipode.
