Luitor Xur

A radio station of Assamese recordings made before 1980 — Bhupen Hazarika, Jayanta Hazarika, Dipali Barthakur, Pratima Barua Pandey and the voices of their century.

Five designs of the same station. Open any one — every song, every control and every list is identical underneath, and there is a switcher in the corner so you can flip between them while it plays.

Codex A page from a notebook: rag vellum, iron-gall ink and red chalk, a twenty-four hour dial drawn in construction lines with the day's programmes laid on it as arcs, and a gear train that turns while a song plays. Open → Heritage Dressed as a phulam gamosa: woven red borders, muga gold, and a japi turning where the record would be. Assamese leads throughout. Open → Sleeve A 1960s regional LP: aged board, deep maroon and gold, the record sliding out from behind the cover with the song printed on its label. Open → Cinema Near-black and art-forward. The song's own artwork fills the screen out of focus, and the accent colour is pulled from it, so the page changes with every record. Open → Player The plain one. Light, roomy, a cover and three buttons and a queue you can read at a glance — easiest for someone who has never heard of any of this. Open →
