Furrowed (Dylan Beattie) is a producer/sound artist working with repurposed and modified vinyl record making equipment to create distinctive soundscapes and performances. Starting with a blank disc, he adds sound to records using a technique he describes as ‘tattooing sound’ whilst multiple tonearms track the newly shaped grooves as they are made and are subjected to further manipulation. His sonic palette ranges from electronic and melodic tones, to hypnotic rhythms, glitch-like behaviours and sweet-sounding passages. Lo-fi loops are formed using locked grooves and records are overlaid and modified with new sounds by hand as works are created and projected on screen.
Expect vinyl texture, clicks, pops and crunch as records are made, celebrated and destroyed live.
