Digital Dysfunctions

by

Digital Dysfunctions is a sound library created by Chris Grigg, who is best known as a member of Negativland.

Dan worked directly with Chris to create innovative artwork for the CD packaging that gave a visual indication of “murdering sound”, by “live scanning” an old oscilloscope.
