Sound effect records create a picture of a fragmented part of nature. This fragmented part of nature, as record, is a picture in place of it's fragmentation. Without distance one hearts too many indiscernible things. Sound is the place that frames an image as image from its object. Sound is the time of image that locates the spectator outside. Sound is the silence of is the distance of image that defines dark from light. Sound is the memory of image that dislocates the origin from it's object. Sound is the location of image that fixes the image in time. Jack Goldstein in "Extended Play (cat)", New York 1988.
