There are encounters with sound that do not resolve, but remain—altering direction without settling into form. Each 45 RPM record is paired with a historical manifesto, tracing a loose correspondence between private listening and collective declaration.

The grooves are removed using a rotary sander, leaving a fractured surface. What remains is not a fixed recording, but a shifting field.

When played, the stylus moves without a stable path—producing skips, loops, abrasion, and distant residual traces. Each rotation unfolds briefly before falling away.

Repetition does not return the same. Each pass reorders what remains. The record persists, but no longer as memory or document—rather as a condition of continual variation.

Alongside this process, the A-sides were recorded anew, forming a parallel body of 49 tracks.
