Argh, okay guys.

This is a pretty weird thing to be asking so bear with me!

I remember ages ago, reading about an album where the guy just recorded himself moving paper around and shuffling it and stuff like that. I guess his purpose was to make really minimalist ambient music. Anyway, it all sounds really terrible but I'm a little bit worried because I can't find anything on it anywhere and I'm positive I haven't made it up.

So this is where I need you guys to help me, have you heard of such a thing?

Found it!

According to Wikipedia; Forms of Paper is an experimental musical piece by Steve Roden created solely from heavily distorted sounds of paper being handled. It is considered to be the first lowercase album, an ambient music movement where extremely quiet sounds are amplified using a computer.

Yeah, so this can now be a thread about BEST IDEAS FOR AN ALBUM you've ever heard.

There's an album by an Artist called Xerophonics and it's a whole album of copying machine samples. It's on Spotify amusingly enough.
