From the late thirties, discarded x-rays were re-utilized by talented amateurs and the Hungarian Radio as raw material for recording sound due to shortages caused by the war industry. With the help of a special device, music and public addresses were recorded on thick radiographs and then cut into discs of 23-25 centimeters in diameter, sometimes with uneven brims, given a label and a whole in the middle. This disk now had the double function of being both sound record as well as record of the internal human body; images of ribs, skulls and limbs broken by sound waves and shattered by music inscribed onto the surface.
On the x-ray of a skull, for instance, the song of Anna Kapitány ”What A Nice Evening We Have” can be heard, and together the song and the image could create a undeniably morbid association.
