  • Summary

  • When you listen to a record, the needle is slowly wearing down the groove in the vinyl. When you listen to a tape the ferric oxide is slowly degrading as the tape drags across the play head. To listen to analog media is to destroy it. Amplif:err is not like other podcasts. Here, listening is not a passive activity. When you listen to Amplif:err, you introduce errors into the audio data. Each episode has a small defect associated with it. Initially, this defect is undetectable. Each time an episode is played, it is reprocessed—reintroducing the defect. Slowly, over consecutive plays, the defect or error builds upon itself, growing in prominence like feedback on a guitar amp. Gradually the content of the audio drops away and the error is all that is left. Errors can be beautiful. Amplif:err is constantly changing ambient music/noise, driven by those who listen to it.
