Chopin Residue by Mariusz Szypura
Chopin Residue removes the piano from the works of Fryderyk Chopin and explores what remains. The cover translates this concept into material form: lathe-cutting the project's records left behind vinyl thread, the physical negative of the groove, and this residue was used to create Nonaptych, nine large-format paintings (2 x 2 m each). Photographs of the paintings form the artwork across all editions. Design and music follow the same principle: the work is made from what is left behind. Recorded with artists associated with Portishead, Sonic Youth, Battles, Beck, David Bowie, and Tortoise.
