Steve RODEN
“Forms of Paper”

Aurora Central Records (Mexico) in conjunction with LINE (US) announce the first-time editions on vinyl and cassette of the important 2001 lowercase work ‘Forms of Paper’ by Steve Roden. This new version has been lovingly remastered by Taylor Deupree in 2024 from the original recording and features Steve Roden’s artwork on the cover/packaging.

This project, initiated by Aurora Central Records, was supervised under the guidance of his estate and the Steve Roden Studio.

A brief history of the work: ‘Forms of Paper’ was originally created by Steve Roden for the art exhibition “Six-Degrees: Art in the Libraries” organized by Side Street Projects in 2001. The exhibition took place in the Hollywood branch of the Los Angeles Public Library designed by Frank Gehry. The work was created with the quiet space of the library as a major consideration, amplified at a very low volume. All the sounds in the composition are made by book pages being handled and turned. ‘Forms of Paper’ was originally released by LINE on CD in 2001 and reissued digitally in 2011.
