Achim Mohné studied at the Academy of Media Arts in Cologne, and started working with record players and other “sound-media-apparatus” in the mid ’90′s. He experiments with the space and time intervals of sound-media and is especially interested in the “music that lies hidden in the medium itself”. He subjects the support material to a forensic autopsy, for example, by analysing the dust particles inside an ending vinyl groove. Achim composes records (but one will not hear any reproduced music) to a music that comes out of the medium. Using a triple vinyl deck set-up, his analytic auditory observations of ending grooves – all grooves sound different, depending on how dust has effected and transformed the soft surface of the vinyl – convert tiny dust particles into a “sound sculpture”.
