Philippe Petit – Needles In Pain picture disc LP

NEEDLES IN PAIN is a symphony for turntables executed live using 3 turntables + 1 extra tonearm built for Philippe and allowing to catch 2 different sounds from the same pre- paired vinyl. It was recorded in 2009 @ FIME festival. For the first time Philippe is releasing a record whose music comes only from his turntablism, and that hopefully will transmit how he en- joys performing and entertaining his audience. Indeed the basis for Needles In Pain comes from unique vinyl units which Philippe Petit uses during his musical sets. Filled with field recordings, textures which have mutated with each playing, creating an organic maturation in sound that time slowly devel- opped... Textures gradually changed with each playing taking ad- vantage of the patina of age, elaborating an alteration in the sound. An echo of the past to which Petit adds more and more vinyls warm cracklings...
