From the artist:
CD 2002 is a piece composed of a single copy of every CD I owned on July 1, 2002 — a total of 289 discs. The discs are individually numbered, but there is no indication of what music is contained on each disc.
Although the packaging has a generic, mass-produced look, each insert is hand printed. Thus, there is more labor involved in producing the packaging than in making the actual recording (which is simply “burned” on my home computer).
