"45RPM James Brown spins with the record player, the needle replaced by a pen slipping continually off the dance floor. We start again, and again, but each time the pen fails to stick into the groove and loses its grip, spinning out of orbit. But what at first seems like random movements in time develops a pattern; the record player's arm shifts this way and that, repeating the movements in perfect timing. Imagining James Brown's relentless vocal improvisations as we spin off the page, off the dance floor, a pattern develops; keeping in time like a machine, and breaking the rules like a human. Underneath the paper a James Brown vinyl spins silently, causing only a mute dance"
