Pretentieuze titel natuurlijk, dat A Compressed History of Everything Ever Recorded. Kan uiteraard nooit kloppen, want niemand kan *alle* opnames die ooit gemaakt zijn bezitten. Misschien bedoelen ze (of hij of zij of wat dan ook, want Autodigest blijft hartstikke anoniem) alle opnames die zij gemaakt hebben. Wat dan weer een stuk plausibeler is, inderdaad. …

It is not clear to me who or what this project called ‘Autodigest’ is exactly, but from the moment I pressed the play button of my CD player I was totally awed by this CD.

The geometric images and two-color pencils are geared by Lia in the screen shapes.
