Duchamp contributed a seven-minute recording of himself reading transposed letters, words and syllables.
The record can be removed and played. This extraordinary work was one Duchamp's last pieces. He died shortly after his SMS contribution. This piece directly related to earlier recordings and record-shaped artowrks made by the famous Dadaist, Surrealist and father of conceptual art. From the edition of approximately 2000 published by Letter Edged in Black Press.
