Glorious new Floris Vanhoof LP co-released with Kraak. Comes with 24 page colour photo book. . Modern experimental Belgian brilliance by this ever exciting artist. Do Not Sleep! 220 copies only. BIG TIP ! "This music and these pictures are made out of curiosity about how multiple images overlap on film and how waves that arise in tiny electronic circuits translate to the outside world. 2 side long pieces and a selection of 24 slides printed on a lush 30 by 30 cm format give an alternative for popular myths “our memory is a tape recorder” and “the exact photographic memory”. When we take time to listen inside own heads, what appears might be closer to the double exposed images and swirling tape manipulations then we imagine. Whooshing echoes out of homemade musical circuits and acoustic recordings processed through configuration of tape recorders and filters mix the same way as the colors in the layered images. The title is comes from the book 'The Pattern on the Stone' by inventor W. Daniel Hillis. The word 'computer' usually refers to an electronic digital device. The book tells about the existence of computers where water flows instead of electrons. This 'fluid computer' serves as a source of inspiration for deconstructing the ubiquitous algorithmic machine, and for new technologies to be revived through untracked sidetracks."
