Blinking Glue is the second solo record from Chicago-based percussionist Bill Harris. Building off of ideas and material from his 2021 solo recording, ONOMAT, Blinking Glue is a single-take, 25-minute live performance that explores live feedback manipulation, rhythmic concepts, and prepared drums and percussion. Inspired by the works of Frank Rosaly, Chris Corsano, Camille Emaille, Gerry Hemingway, and Deantoni Parks.

Cover and back illustration is from the 1998 IAEA report inis-ua--062,
