View this post on Instagram I am over the damn moon to announce the release of my debut LP, Hair Birth; a record which you can listen to through its own cover art. The limited special edition features art that transforms the jacket into a functioning speaker. The art is the speaker and the speaker is the art. The width of a continuous copper coil is modulated as it radiates across the surface of the jacket to render the image of my face mid-performance from a show last summer in Kumamoto, Japan. The coil, when connected to an audio amplifier and placed in front of a magnet, turns the material of the cover into an active speaker membrane. The whole thing dances and vibrates in your hands as you listen to the album, as it pushes the particles in the air back and forth to create invisible waves that we perceive to be sound. Each special edition cover is handmade and unique. Enormous thank you to @americandreamsrecords for putting this out! Available for pre-order now. Link in bio.
