Open ending
12-inch vinyl record modified to create stopwatch hands used on 5 watch-turntables that indicate days, hours, minutes, seconds, and hundredths of a second.
The use of the end of the disc or dead wax removes the original content of the disc, making the expression have an aesthetic noise, leaving only the label as memory for a sound reference.
The various speeds of these chronometer-turntables produce subtle combinations of sounds.
