I say “Just like Rilke's 'primal sound' the incessant itching of eczema is perfectly embodied in red vinyl. The process of making the score for this vinyl, recording my own scratching, stretching it, playing it back through a mighty pipe organ's MIDI is activated through sunken grooves, cyclical returns and a soul chomping commitment to obsessive attention. This irritation is captured at its most restless on vinyl, making a monument out of a necessity of itchiness.”
