2013–present · Eradicated 7-inch vinyl records, labels, sleeves, one-minute audio
Revolutions Per Minute is a series of resurfaced 7-inch vinyl records that pair manifesto titles with commercially produced singles. Each record is sanded until its grooves are gone, leaving fragments of vinyl scattered across the surface.
During playback, the stylus moves through this loose material, reading and displacing it at once. Sound surfaces as skips, loops, scratches, and intermittent traces of the original recording. With the grooves erased, each side plays for under a minute.
The debris shifts with every play, so each playback is unique. The record becomes an improvised instrument, reducing language, sound, and ideology to fragile signals.
Audio transmissions available on SUBVERT.
