Mi autoquoto dal thread geekate:

We Buy White Albums

Rutherford has a unique vinyl collection. He only collects the Beatles first pressing of The White Album.

I met him in Recess gallery where he exhibits his collection.

In this show Chang is creating a record store that stocks only White Albums. But rather than selling the albums, he buys more from anyone willing to part with an original pressing in any condition.

A: While at Recess, I’m listening to and recording the albums and documenting the covers. The albums I listen to get put up on the “staff picks” wall. At the end of the exhibition, I will press a new double-LP made from all the recordings layered upon each other. It will be like playing a few hundred copies of the White Album at once, each scratched and warped in its own way.

Ed ecco il lato A: https://soundcloud.c...-1-x-100#t=0:00

Back In The USSR ancora ancora sta in piedi da Dear Prudence però si inizia a deragliare, i tempi progressivamente si sfasano, i rumori di sottofondo si fondono con gli strati di canzoni fuori sincrono e arrivati a Bungalow Bill ci si trova immersi in un drone cosmico con distanti echi di suoni vagamente familiari.

Al di là del risultato musicale, che comunque è molto meglio di quanto possa sembrare (ma io sono fan terminale), trovo molto affascinante l'idea di sfruttare solo le differenze di dischi uguali e i segni del tempo.
