Musician Daniel Freitag wanted to record live shows in a new and unconventional way. He came up with a method to do so without actually recording the music itself; instead, he captured the audience’s reaction to it. For Project Bootleg, Freitag attached blank records to the floor of a music venue and left it to fans to create his vision over a series of live shows.
When Freitag came to retrieve the records from the floor, he noted that fans of artists such as Deadmau5 and Die Antwoord were the rowdiest of the bunch and created the most scratches and indentations on the records themselves. Freitag has since composed original productions from the stomped-on, scratched-up records and has released two so far. Their glitchy sound reflects the energy and excitement of fans during live music shows.
