Movement, unpredictability and found sound take center stage as Clinton Green and Ernie Althoff bring together turntable constructions and hand-built kinetic instruments. Their joint work finds a magnetic middle ground between gentle percussive chaos and immersive, floating textures—highlighting the overlapping of machine logic and human touch.​

"I think I know how these four machines sound", Clinton said of the images of Ernie's recently constructed kinetic sonic machines.

"Ok, then build four pairs for these, send me the images and the sound files, and I'll mix them down to four duet tracks", Ernie replied. These became Part 1 of 'Blindfold test'; the name stuck from the start.

Part 2 eventuated when the duo were asked to perform at 'Autumnal sounds', a house event in Bayswater North. Three different and separate turntable pieces were devised by each player. These were performed back-to-back for added theatrical effect, with photos and videos only later revealing the processes. A mobile phone alarm ended each section.
