He subjects the material support to a forensic autopsy, for example, by analyzing the dust particles inside an ending vinyl groove. Achim composes records (but one will not hear any reproduced music) to a music that comes out of the medium. Using a triple vinyl deck set-up, his analytic auditory observations of ending grooves - Grooves all sound different, Depending On how dust has Effected and transformed the soft surface of the vinyl - convert tiny dust particles into a "sound sculpture".
