The new polymer five pound note this time is playing a CD... well sort of! This is actually a lathe-cut mono CDr record, just over a minute of music has been cut in real time onto the recordable side of a silver CDr. Lathe-cut records generally have shallower grooves than standard vinyl records thus it's a lot harder to play this with a £5 note!

Again I'm using a simple contact microphone and small guitar amplifier.

The lathe-cut itself is a split I did with an American artist GX Jupitter-Larsen in 2014, we both created two short tracks of experimental electronic music. Further information on it can be found here:
