Apart from final track: Klavier Bekloppt, All tracks were made with modified or ‘prepared’ turntables and home constructed cartridges and styli. Various objects—including springs, ping-pong balls, marbles and bowls—were assembled in a kinetic relation to turntable platter and tone arm. Contact microphones were used to record the sound which, for the most part was treated as automatic music, and finished off with minimal editing or use of effects.
Tracks 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, & 10 recorded in 2013 all other tracks recorded 2019-2020.
