The earliest computer systems used punchcards adapted from knitting machines. Pop Punch is a collaborative conceptual project with a coder and a sound designer: between the three of us we’ve come up with a programme which converts the tracks of a vinyl LP into knitting patterns.

The yokes of these pullovers are the melodies of the seven tracks of the first LP of The Low End Theory (1991) by A Tribe Called Quest, converted into seven knitting patterns. Each pattern is made up in Scotland as a traditional Fair Isle pullover using Shetland yarns. The garment is styled after early 1960s knitwear, with contrasting long cuffs and a high neck rib which can be worn up, close to the neck, or rolled down.
