Acoustic Deconstruction

Side A: 33 RPM, Matrix runout: MARIO CAMPI 1970-A Side B: 45 RPM, Matrix runout: MARIO CAMPI 1970-B With insert. Sleeve notes: “As the former home of the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, 2626 Bancroft Way is acoustically exceptional in ways that cannot be measured or reproduced. A Brutalist masterpiece, the building was shuttered on December 21, 2014 and its future is uncertain at the time of this pressing. With established and brave new techniques, we collected a representation of its acoustic soul. These recordings are artists’s interpretations of that data rather than a direct document of the building’s sound. Here is an echo, reflected not by concrete but by a listener’s body.” Record was available as part of a Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/632980650/acoustic-deconstruction-of-2626-bancroft-way/
