Surface Bruit
Dinah performs with her home-made records and un-cut 78s.
Surface Bruit is not the type of sound we usually try to reproduce.
This performance uses home made records, broken 78rpms, piezo mikes, and rubber bands. Using low-grade home-made 5 and 7″ records, various record players, and forgotten elements of her growing collection recording ephemera, this is one facet of her research into surface noise and the material culture of the recording industry.
In October 2025 Dinah won the Karl Sczuka radio research for this ongoing work.
