about

Groove was a limited edition of 60 audio CDs. Vinyl-style record grooves were cut onto the outer rim of each disc and patterned with cutting tools and files. The sound of these grooves - buzzes, low rumbles, clicks and odd vibrations - form a collage: burnt as digital audio onto the inner rings of the CD. The listener could choose to play the unique locked groove on a turntable, or listen to the collage on their CD player.
