Documentary Short

   

Synopsis:
This short documentary explores John Pugh - drummer from famed New York underground dance/punk band !!! (chk, chk, chk), and his musical side project. He takes old records and with razor blades and scissors he cuts them, scratches them, and with mathematical precision, creates textures on the vinyl. Played through retrofitted record players, he creates something wholly different from the original: dirty, gritty, low-fi rhythms, that depending on how he cuts them create different beats.
