The Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS), Poo-Bah Records, and The Pasadena Arts & Culture Commission brings you an homage and exploration of the 78RPM vinyl medium in true 78 phonic quality. The proposal was to make a mysterious object out its time -- a conundrum. Something technologically obsolete, by the most standards. It is an homage to the beginnings of recording technology by combining current methodologies with older mediums of sound reproduction. The compositions derive its sounds from only 78rpm records -- the clicks, cracks, scratches, samples of previous recordings, internet mp3s, as well as the sounds that the record makes as an object in 3 dimensional space.
