"...the texture and grain of the wax has its own raspy voice, a voice that sang along with every diva and accompanied every chance sound passing by the microphone. Surface noise, channel noise, the song of long ago and far away, presented a gift in disguise to the recordist and artist alike. This noise is an audible indication that information is being sent. In effect this “noise-floor” is the sound of silence of any given channel.."
Paul DeMarinis, on The Edison Effect (1989)
