Nothing to Commit Records presents Cast, a transcription disc of a free-form episode of the radio show Luna Park by Geraldine de María. A record in four chapters – vinyl record, glass, ceramic and lacquer vinyl – Cast delves into the politics of the night, exploring the shifts of nocturnal rhythms and the acoustic im
print of a city under the pressures of a global pandemic.
The radio broadcast trapped in the grooves of this record circulates differently, passing through hands instead of airwaves, and pays tribute to the transcription disc, a particular phonograph record intended for radio broadcast. Cast treats the space of the record as an exhibitionary site and features curatorial notes in the form of audio inscription, transposing the curatorial into grooves. We don’t have walls; we have grooves.
