Black Meteoric Star - NYC Beat Boxx vinyl is shipping now from @voluminousarts 🖤 . NYC Beat Boxx draws inspiration from vinyl “beat collections”, which heavily circulated in New York during the 80’s, such as Apexton’s Rhythm Masters series. The beats on those records, conceived more as functional sonic tools rather than fully realized tracks, have an uncanny ability to crystallize the feeling of a moment within their repetitive minimalism. . [Image]: A close up of an NYC Beat Boxx record. The black and white cover is a messy digital collage. Stretched hand written text says “Black Meteoric Star”, a New York City subway token spells the letters “NYC” and the words “Beat Boxx” are written across the knuckles of a pair of hands both giving a middle finger gesture. Drawings of weapons surround these elements as well as screenshots from glitched NES games. In each corner is a collaged Black Meteoric Star face. A portion of a resin paperweight is visible with a New York skyline and the text “Celebrate New York”.
