IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE MICROPHONE
In the buginning was the microphone
Switched ON in a room with some air and some humans brains.
Collecting sound vibrations and translating them into
electric currents.
The amplifier magnifies intensifies and further processes them currents
To the Recording Temple-TAX-CUTTING DIAMOND HEAD.
At the recording temple-head the electric currents
ARE TRANSLATED AND CONVERTED again, in a different way–Into mechanical movements.
Vibrations decoded and translated into a mechanical reproduction
To a stylus/tip/wand to CUT and ETCH.
The wiggling head cuts/etches/draws/WRITES.
A pattern–a GROOVE canal–into revolving
Rotating revolutionary disc/tablet/medium.
The wax/hemp/lacuer PLATE SEAL DISC is born.
The template MOTHER/MASTER/MATRIX disc. HO!
The canal-grooves in the mother-disc TRACK
Precisely the tram-line-shape
Of the sound waves, invisible to human eyes
Visible with aid of an instrument:
Micro/macro scope
High Pitched waves are cluster-bunched together. Alto SAX
LOW-pitched waves are spread apart, longer waves. Double Bass.
Sound & music and “word” is born from a disc
When a phonograff needle/wand/sword is trawled
Through the grooves,
Surfing across the GROOVE-CANAL-roadways
Produces vibrations in the side of the needle/sword
Duplicating the pitch and amplitude of the
Original motherfunk-groove.
The cartridge picks-up those vibrations,
Converting them once again back into electric signals.
The signals are then re:translated to an
Amplyflyer and finally unleashed
lue-magic-space
And propagated by a LOUDSPEAKER.
