Clay as a recording medium.

Clay records were placed on animal trails in the mountains surrounding the city of Kyoto, Japan to collect the footprints of wild animals.

Events such as animal activity and weather conditions were recorded into the clay.

Each record has its location and date printed on its cover and label.

The records can be played on a specially adapted turntable which translates the unique surfaces of the clay disks into sounds sampled from the surrounding areas.
Controls on the turntable can be used to further manipulate these sounds.

粘土は記録媒体である。
野生動物の足跡を採集するため、粘土を山の獣道に仕掛け、回収するという行為を繰り返す。
粘土には足跡だけでなく、その場所で起きたことが記録される。
