about

it was also mihkel who suggested i contact lemmit kaplinski at tartu trükimuusuem (the tartu printing museum, who’s studio is know internationally as studio.tartuensis) about the possibility of working with them to print the framework500 sleeves traditionally on their historical machines. we met and agreed that the designs would look best letterpressed and lightly embossed on the räpina paperstock. i was asked if i had ‘more time or money’, and, when i responded with the answer you might imagine, was invited to be present to help with the printing and paper-scoring process, not only because it was a thrilling prospect, but to help lower my production costs. lemmit was also excited by and supportive of my idea to document the printing process in sound and image, and for that i am very grateful. in mid-march we began the process, printing the inside face of the sleeve on their heidelberg windmill mechanical letterpress, and the outside face on a tabletop manual boston press. vertical and horizontal fold creases were then made on the creasing machine, while the shorter and diagonal creases had to be made by hand. i have selected one recording of the heidelberg letterpress to be the closing track on the release.

for a wider selection of recordings and photographs from the initial printing day (march 13th, 2015), the boston press session (march 17th, 2015) and our final day in the studio, creasing both mechanically and manually (march 22nd, 2015), please visit:
