Overture

Various Artists

Some guys from the chippie next to my house were kind enough to donate a large oil can for a new experiment of mine - using a whopping 50 vinyls or so! (They were Dido and Dizzee Rascal for all the vinyl record lovers out there don't worry :P) The initial intention was to create a larger version of RePlay, however as it turned out this would have been ridiculously hard to pull off - a happy coincidence then as this new version came out of it - making it much more obvious what material it is made of the focus can possibly stay more on the sound qualities of the tin can. A speaker here for an absence of sound?

RePlay

Experimentation with vinyl and of course a tin can - still obsessed. Creates an odd aesthetic as there is so much potential for sound in the material it is made of, yet it looks very dense and therefore has a silence about it. Still enjoying the mundane quality of the tin can as an object.

Material love

Getting a bit frustrated with the intricacies of inventions and kinetic logic I've had a bit of  a material love revival - the notion of such complicated sound being produced by a simple material got me thinking about what other materials could be used. Below is a series of records made from various materials...

                                                        Acrylic paint

                                                        Jelly
                                                         

                                                        Resin
