'Same Old Song' is one of a series of silver gelatin prints entitled 'Analogue'. The series features extreme close-up images of vinyl record grooves, shot with a basic 35mm SLR under daylight. It is a little known fact that record grooves are true transcriptions of soundwaves as they are recorded. Inspired by the invention of photography, the earliest sound recording contraptions were intended to 'record the voice as a photograph records the face'. There was no thought that the inscriptions (grooves) could be reconverted into sound, until Edison reproduced sound from a recording, quite accidentally, in 1877. From then on, unique sound became as endlessly reproducible as the photographic image. 'Same Old Song' reveals the form of the sound waves transcribed on the 7" single of the 1965 Motown hit by the Four Tops. 'Analogue', meaning 'continuous signal' has its roots in the Greek ana (meaning 'equivalent') and logos (meaning 'structure of reality').
