adventurous DJs would know what to do with this curious record: spin two copies at any speed and make dozens of new connections Tokafi

kind of incredible “audio video picture disc” :: a picture-disc lp with music pressed into both sides that serves double-purpose as a “self contained film”… the music is all a-grade ; nice, chunky, messy collages of beats (constantly tripping about themselves), squiggly analogue noises, plunderphonic bits, and nice little electronic miniatures … an auspicious debut !!! Mimaroglu

It’d be a mistake to conclude from the vintage of their gear that Sculpture are pursuing a retro analogue agenda. Their purpose is to explore the brain’s perceptual thresholds…Sculpture hover at these sensory junctures, invoking the cortical feedback mechanisms of the brain The Wire

SCULPTURE
Rotary Signal Emitter
Picture-Disc LP

Limited edition of 300 copies!

Sculpture is an audiovisual performance duo from London – electronic music producer, Dan Hayhurst, and animator, Reuben Sutherland.

Sutherland ‘DJs’ with home-made zoetropic discs, intricate concentric rings of illustrated frames, projecting fragments of looping images at 33, 45 and 78 rpm – pre-Edisonian imaging technology combined with a digital video camera.

Hayhurst deploys prepared audio material (found tapes, lo-fi electronics, computer programming, and analogue noise) across 1⁄4” tape loops, hardware sampler, cassette walkman and CDJ deck.

The process is important. a kind of unstable modular collage. style. rhythm. spontaneity. input, output, and a bit in the middle called MUSIC (audible and visible) which requires the computer to be switched off.

We present here an audio video picture disc by Sculpture called Rotary Signal Emitter. It can be played conventionally or as a self contained film. It is also intended to be reusable as part of future performances.

The music: A strange amalgam of found sounds (corresponding perfectly with the found imagery), Plunderphonics, ancient electronic music recalling the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, twisted rhythms (imagine Felix Kubin playing Dubstep), all mixed hands-on on the spot.
