Grima (Sp.: disgust, irritation, uneasiness): the name given to the sound of fingernails on chalkboard; the type of phenomenon that creates an unconscious and uncontrolled response in the listener’s body. A shiver, quiver, or convulsion.

Modified turntable; contact microphones and wire acting as a stylus cutting against metal sheets, plastics, and the turntable platter. For listening to minuscule variation within repetition. Circularity and rotation as a formal index to trace difference. Absolute minimalism.
