Sculpture meets Psyché Tropes for a post-transitory broadcast in reductionist methodology, exploring the non-standard definitions from the other side. Projected Music is a five-inch zoetrope picture disc containing 26 locked grooves. Each loop is 1.33 seconds in duration cut at 45rpm reaching a total playing time of 34.58 seconds although the loops are intended to be played at any speed. In the possession of two or more disks, the listener can interact with a modular album whereby the source material is open to interpretation. Despite its minimalist size and composition, this release is intended as an LP. With the expansive nature of the turntable, there are almost limitless possibilities. The pressing plant strongly advised against making a five-inch locked groove, animated picture disc due to its low-fidelity and that warping will occur. Rather than taking their advice, Sculpture and Psyche Tropes have embraced these artifacts and you should as well. Remixes by Maria Chavez, Philip Jeck, Janek Schaefer, Mariam Rezaei, Merkaba Macabre, Claudius, Graham Dunning, and Tom Richards accompany the five-inch as a free download. Projected Reworks is eight commissioned tracks by artists who use the turntable as an instrument. Using only physical copies of Sculpture's five-inch locked groove animated picture disc Projected Music, Dan Hayhurst's sonic material containing 26 loops are transfigured into new imaginings by some of the most prominent and inventive artists working in the field. Sculpture is electronic music producer, Dan Hayhurst, and visual artist, Reuben Sutherland, on a freewheeling excursion through temporary forms of digital composition, analog electronics, comic strips, sci-fi, pop, psychedelia, and multisensory perception.
