Secret Record 160

acmochi This is the type of music you can listen to and not be annoyed when your bluetooth headphones start to go out of range. No need to hastily grab what you need from the kitchen and rush back to your office to prevent un-pairing. You can bask in that hazy, rhythmic wonderland between skips, jumps, and stutters and find a little excitement in the electromagnetic improvisation of the bluetooth signal. The Bluetooth Signal will be performing LIVE this Saturday @ that big venue between your ears 🚨🤯🚨 Favorite track: SR160 3.

about

[hymn 42]

"Secret Records are hand-made sculptural resin castings, using found vinyl LP records as a source mould. Most of these discs contain found objects embedded within the resin. Each Secret Record is unique in appearance and source mould. There were approximately 250 of these created between 1995-1998. They directly capture the grooves of the source record, giving these objects inverted grooves. This disc focuses solely on recordings of Secret Record 160, in which is embedded rejected tape containing sound of a mysterious origin.

"One thing about Secret Records is that they are sculpture which make sound. There is the visual aspect, of which I focused on more when I made them. There is also the audio aspect, which is a fascinating thing.. When they are made, systems are created which present a new discovery -- of listening experience, recontextualization of familiar elements, via a methodology of making a consistent object, capturing the air above a found vinyl record as a solid (resin casting). The source records I choose are dollar bin variety- instrumental, children’s music, easy listening. By re-playing these objects, there is little control over the results of the casting process (of which the outcome is inverted grooves and other anomalies). Mysterious results are revealed. Some of the castings aren’t even playable on a standard phonograph, although sounds are still hidden within the grooves.

"This only addresses the audio aspect of these objects..There’s also the visual.

"This process reflects one aspect of my intent when making art, which is simply to present different perspectives of perception, abstraction, and mystery." --Jesse Paul Miller
