From the CD "Noises and Whispers in Avant Gardes"

Reconstruction of the experiments made by Moholy-Nagy with the collaboration of the musical historian and composer Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt during his visit to the Bauhaus in 1923, where he wrote : "We experimented together, we played them the other way around, which had surprising results, mainly in piano discs. We made eccentric holes to them, so that they did not turn regularly, thus producing grotesque tones in glissando. We even scratched the notches with very fine needles and produced rhythmical figures and noises, what radically changed the sense of music".
