this technique predates Oval by, oh, a decade or so. my buddy mark t. gunderson of the evolution control committee was posting to nm-list about it back in the late 80's. some people like the sound of a cd skipping. i think it is pretty cool but not on its own. mike kandel of tranquility bass had an installation back when he was at calarts. he took a bunch of records, smashed them up, glued fragments from mismatched records together in approximately the right shape, put them on a bunch of cheapo yard-sale phonographs and stood back and mixed his masterpiece. sounded cool as hell. particularly the record that was 1/2 abbey road and 1/2 101 strings. "come togeth... *wheeeeeennnnnn* come togeth... *wheeeeeeeennn*"

get a magic marker and a CD you don't like. write your name all over the data side of the CD with the magic marker. insert in CD player. stand back. instant oval.
