Part II: The trace’s origins. No, this isn’t a radioactive early cola ingredient. This is phosphor, atomic number 15, which has a brightness that is already a memory before it becomes visible. A memory of excitation of light. This is nature’s early RAM, and nature’s prototype of a recorded LP. It’s an early energy storage primitive that contains an afterglow, ready to release after a delay.

An LP sings after the singer is gone. The phosphor shines after the sun has set. This is the trace: the persistence of a difference, an archive of energy. The archive precedes the archivist, and there is a strange economy of retained information and released performance. This is the underlying principle we all work with in audio and visual work, consciously or unconsciously.

Music is a trace. A trace of a groove, re-animated from something that happened in the past, a new apparition that we experience together on playback. I used to sit in a trance with records for hours as a kid, trying to get at the core, tinted through the light of the layers of recorded art: the tape, the room, the mics, the crackle of the record. Re-animation of a shared experience.

Sorry haven’t been on IG much. Been working on something head down for the better part of 2-3 months. Any guesses? Those that know please don’t spoil…
