Primitive Scratch by babe

so first thing I had to do was to clear it
therefor I just needed some sandpaper ...
and then some other, better sandpaper...
and water to make the grinding really fine
hmmm!
Ok, now cutting the track: that's tool time
I fixed the record with a nail and ...
...started carving
(while carving the track I had this beautiful idea of different carving technics producing differnt sounds on the record, so I put really an effort in......haha...)
so, thats my track:
I sandpapered it again to remove the burr (I suddenly had this feeling of respect and responsibility for my record-player...)
And here is the track:
(this time I also managed to hold the camera right...)
This was indeed a bit disappointing, especially because my effort in producing different sounds made me feel kind of naive after this.
haha.

I didn´t know hawaiian music could be that creepy.
Sounds like something that would be rapped over. And I agree with Susy.
i like how the record slipped into loops, half hawaiian, half record-scratch-y.
i think you just invented a new genre.
well done ! i knew someone would come through. lo-tec's knife don't hold a candle to your x-acto set.
i took this modernist aesthetics class in undergrad with a professor who was a composer of experimental music. he made us all cds that started with earlier forms of experimental composition, like charles ives, and led into the crazy screechy stuff like iannis xenakis. it ended with an original composition of his wherein he elecronically sampled and looped a bunch of baby noises his kid had made over the years on top of ... some other weird noise stuff. i can remember several times listening to that CD and falling asleep to something fairly melodic, if dissonant, only to be jarred awake sometime later when we had skipped forward to xenakis' 'mycenae alphae' which sounded like a car wreck, all high pitched saw noises and twisting metal.
your praxi totally reminds me of that - um, in the best way. i mean, maybe i just never 'got' experimental music, but i feel like this is just as good as any of that stuff, only produced more in a more low-tech way.
this was an interesting task and i'm glad someone completed it with as much awesome as you put into it.
oh...thank you.
I just wanted to listen to a record and had an awful scrachy sound - this task damaged the stylus...
I like that you can still hear some of the nice Hawaiian music under all the banging and scratching! It's sort of pretty in an extremely horrific way.
You totally did it.
