" in 2015 i found a large box of old homemade 7 inch vinyl lathes made by my great grandpa i'm assuming between the late 1930s - mid 1950s. the audio on the records were either instrumentals recorded personally by him and my great grandma, or of live bootleg recordings taken from performances at the eureka municipal auditorium. back in the 80s, these lathes were transferred to tape and later cd, rendering the original flimsy discs obsolete. 'veteran sad clown' is comprised of sounds sourced from those vinyls being played either simultaneously, in a looped mix, or running in the only glitched ways they can at this point having been sitting in a closet warping for the past half a century plus. through decayed grooves, crackling and hiss lies memory of some other time, lost forever. up for pay what you want (all $ is greatly appreciated) but this one's for the love of the game "

quade ross - vinyl record turntables + lathes (recorded by robert maxon), loop pedal
