Fire Rises/Water Falls, 12" lacquer dub plate record, edition of one, 2008 One side of this record plays the sound of fire crackling in the night air, the other plays the sound of a waterfall in the rain. Because these sounds were etched and not pressed in the surface of this lacquer disk, the first dozen or so times it is played they will sound better than if they'd been pressed in vinyl. However, because the grooves are hand cut, they will soon loose their fidelity and the signal will, through repeated playing, give itself over to noise. White noise, in the forms of a warm fire or a waterfall can be very soothing for humans. I suspect because they fill the senses and are sounds we have been listening too for millenia. |
