Late Works: of Noise is a concept album where a set of artist-built instruments sit in a recording studio for six groups of musicians to come in (one at a time) and create a track (or more) each. The groups have six hours and are only allowed to sample from the instruments and their voices.
Adapting from the first iteration of ‘of Noise’, the recordings will be spread over two weeks, with a launch gig concluding each week. In the day between the recording and gig days, a run of limited edition lathe cut vinyl will be cut in-house at state51 by First Cut Vinyl and made available to buy at each launch.
