Notes

Cassette Edition of 30 hand made, individual editions. Hi Bias Chrome C40 tapes.

The Spinning Plates Instrument is an idiophone featuring 9 suspended plates that can rotate freely (x axis), modulating the tones produced when struck. The plates vary in size from 30 cm to 2.5 m long and hang on wire with a bearing and spindle. Each produces a unique set of tones/modulation respective of its dimentions.

As each Plate rotates it modulates the amplitude and pitch of the sound via reproduction of the Doppler effect much like a Leslie speaker.

This release demonstrates each of the 9 plates in series. They are the first batch of recordings taken from the MK1 instrument between January and March 2018 and underpin a forthcoming series of compositions for the instrument.
