Do not put records in the package. Just take that rule to remind you that your record is just a media and we are just listening to speaker vibrations. The sound of the record board is scratched and the noise is bug, and the original sound is lost. With just that, you will see the existence of transparent media. In addition, when the sound that is carved on the record board itself is recorded from the scratch on the recordboard, we will not be able to tell what we can define as noise. Not only is it a sound noise, but also a noise born in perception.

Following quotes:

His work tells me "wondering where I stand and thinking from the outside. And they taught them to practice in their creations and performances. At the same time I was desperate to escape from Margray's strong influence. The way you get to focus on the sound of the turntable itself, without the need for a record. After a considerable amount of time, we have thought that you can use the record or use it anytime. You can play honestly influenced by Margray. But unfortunately, we think that no matter how much you have been affected, after all, you can't play like him. But I wanted to honor the Christian who is also an irreplaceable friend. At the same time it has been built with my own history for over 30 years in his meeting with him. It may be an autoprenic album."
