A 2011 editorial for <n>T Magazine China</n>.

“In a time where everything is fast, fragmented, and designed to hold our attention, listening to one entire story—and doing it slowly—feels almost radical. Giving thirty minutes of your attention to something that is not urgent, not loud, and not passive, is rare now. That is why I like that the stories are on vinyl. Putting on a record is a physical gesture. It’s a choice to engage with art.”
