TREAD - ROSS FROM FRIENDS
A005

The launch of a new seminal album by UK DJ “Ross From Friends,” A collaborative project between Ross and One Eight Hundred. The Album is derived from a piece of software called ‘Thresho’ made by Ross. It’s a utility that records every sound palyed in the studio. Once the audio level reaches a certain threshold, it’s recording, then stops once it’s below. E.g. “If I just stood up and mashed some keys on the synth right now, it’d record what I just did. It then puts the recording, timestamped, into a folder so you can access it later.” This act of recording leaves a digital footprint of all of the actions performed in a studio. This “Act of Treading” led us to call the album Tread and all of the artworks created are visual representations of Treading.
