Project Bootleg: Creating ‘Crowd Scratched’ Music

The creative team MaMa – Manuel Urbanke and Maximilian Hoch call Project Bootleg a new form of live recording. "We produced empty vinyls recorded with silence. No music. No Sound. Before concerts we put them on the floor and people danced on them," wrote the pair. "After the live shows the records were scratched. These scratches made sound on the record player. We mixed this noise in the studio and created new tracks out of it".

The call their work the first live recordings actually made by the crowd. The recorded the crowd at concerts by Die Antwoord, Gold Panda, The Roots, Apparat and Deadmau5. Here's a teaser of the result:
