[silence] silence, sound, music, noise

[Kraig Grady]

CM von Hauswolff
connected to the Hafter trio at times i seem to remember?

 that is a quite imaginative realization for disc.

any mathheads here to verify the possibility of the length.

that would require 150.15 revolutions at just 33 RPM
going 68 inches. this would mean  the average distance traveled in a 
groove per sec
 to be only be a little less than a half inch per second.
someone is taking poetic license
