I was looking at one of my vinyl records and I noticed that as well as a run-out groove in the center of the record, there is also a run-in groove near the outer edge. I know that there are a few records with music in the run-out groove (early pressings of "Sgt. Pepper" come to mind), but what if a band
was to put music in the run-in groove as well? You would never really be able to hear the "beginning" of the album, since wherever the needle is placed, it lands on some music.

And for something more modern, put music in Track 0 of a CD. |
|
| |
How about hiding some extra lyrics in the zero's of an MP3 file? |
|
| |
But you'd hear the extra stuff when
you bought the CD. |
|
| |
Would a CD player be able to play track 0? |
|
| |
I think if you pressed the back button at the very
beginning of the first track you can. I seem to remember
a crony of mine having a CD with something on track 0... |
|
| |
I don't know about track zero, but I know that "Grayfolded" by John Oswald three minutes of extra music before track 1 - you have to start playing the disc and then hold down the reverse button to access it. |

[k sra] no reason. I was just thinking once about all of the things that you can do with vinyl that you can't do with CDs, and this was one of a number of things that came to mind. |

Sure, if you consider bits of 4'33" here, there and everywhere to be a bonus Cage composition on every album. |
|
| |
Cage's 4'33," aka as "Silence" is Cage's most notorious work - the performer sits at his instrument (piano) but plays nothing. Instead of causing sound by action, the environmental sounds produced by a typically uncomfortable audience are caused by the performer's inaction. |

I was listening to Radio 4 last week prior to a live broadcast Radio 4 performance of 4'33" and was made aware of the technological problems that the radio broadcast encounters. Not least of which is the fact that if the transmission signal/volume is low for a set length of time then a default message gets broadcast.
That would wreck the song for me! |

I've actually been part of a performance of that piece. My friend played the piano and I wrote poetry. Unfortunately, her grandfather clock started chiming three o'clock halfway through the piece. |
|

It's the only song I can call my elf expertly proficient at. |

You too? We should get together and jam. |
