Artist statement:

*Topography of Sound: "MEDICI #1 - 4"*
*Sound composition by: Maria Chavez for Topography of Sound series*
*Recorded & Mastered by: Daniel Neumann*
*@Santos Party House, NYC*

"MEDICI #1-4" is a sound composition that was made in part for a series of Klangkunst sculpture pieces created by Maria Chavez entitled, Topography of Sound.

The term topography is used in reference to the result of cutting different sized grooves into a vinyl record which creates a micro sound sculpture that is invisible to the naked eye. There are only 4 micro sculptured vinyl records in existence that have this MEDICI composition recorded into them. Each record can only be performed a total of 50 times max as the quality of the recording and the fragile micro- sculptured grooves immediately become damaged when played under commercial grade playback needles.
