Swen Buckner –– » Liner Notes « Digital collages made from recording information on phonograms.
For the fourth issue of the magazine SOUND/ IDEA, ed. Sven Lüthgen, Zentrum für Medien, Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel, 2023, I scanned and arranged liner notes to the recording information of music albums. In the magazine we see collages of solo albums, duo albums and finally trio albums. Analogous to my video "Westside Player Now" (1999), which was about the poetry and socio-cultural relevance of film credits, I focused here on the backs and booklets of LPs and CDs. If you look closely, you can draw conclusions about my record and CD collection. While scanning and arranging, I listened to Af Ursin – Trois Mémoires Discrètes (2012), Raven Chacon – An Anthology of Chants Operations (2020) and Ava Mendoza – New Spells (2021).
