An ordinary bootleg contains recorded live music from an artist or band. On our bootleg you can hear the convert crowd instead-turning their dance moves into music. For BOOTLEG we produced specially manufactured blank silent vinyl records (without any music or sound). In order to capture the energy of the crowd, we taped these records to the floor of the venue during an Automat concert at Kunsthalle Dusseldorf. The crowd danced on the records and the vinyl was scratched and dirty after the show. Played on turntables you only heard noise. The Bureau B artists AUTOMAT and SCHNEIDER TM then used the noise to compose three unique tracks-which will be released on limited 12" collectors vinyl BOOTLEG. The entire design concept for the record, including cover design, posters and flyers, was also based on the idea of involving the audience. Thanks to a stencil technique we let footprints and dirt become our printing colour which made the artwork for the vinyl. So the audience was not only responsible for the music but furthermore for the entire corporate identity. BOOTLEG shows that you can turn dance into music and fans into musicians!
