I organized covers and records as a study of shapes with a few color scores and called them the “Albers Collection”, a reference to Josef Albers and his work that explores the chromatic interaction between overlapping squares.
I have arranged collections of absences with overlapping silences. These collections are made up of transparent records without sound, with a little color; and, some records with only the runout groove: a spiral groove that signals the end of the recording. It is not music, it is the memory of a sound no longer there.
