Janek Schaefer, On/Off LP

LP, audiOh!09 2001

The one sided LP has just two 'tracks' or cuts [each ending in locked grooves] which both contain the same continuous full frequency drone/tone sourced from a test tone 45 played at 8 rpm. In this instance the inner track is cut symmetrically, and on the same side the outer track is cut off centre which turns the identical 'monotonous' stereo tone/drone into a pronounced sine wave sound as the arm sways from side to side. It was originally produced for playing on an especially built 'Twin' turntable for an exhibition at the Royal Society of British Sculptors called 'The Rumble' on the theme of spirals and sine waves.
