AFMsoundscratch


one of the early ideas I had in this project was inspired by an AFM practical - the process and the idea of playing the surfaces (the materials resemblance to the surface of the groves in a record was the obvious starting point, that and a 'giant' needle). today I was looking at the surface of plastic - thinking about reflective surfaces - noticed the shadows - the scratches - started making marks - which turned into circles - which then found itself on a record player - which were then played - recorded - and slightly played through effects - an hour later and we have made sound - next stage to think about matching it to videos and possibly thinking about more marks and the physicality of sound. that the act of defining measurement is determined by the speed of sound - there is something here about space.
