Really interesting topic! I don't mean to derail the conversation but this link got me thinking...
I'd never heard of Christian Marclay before so I checked out the links. I dont find myself saying this too often but I REALLY don't get his music. I thought this wass odd because I've come to really like ambient and soundscapes. I can tell that there is a definite purpose behind what he is doing. Wikipedia pegs him as the "unwitting inventor of turntablism" and I agree with that statement. You can certainly learn a few turntablism techniques by watching what he does. It's just that the overall performance is totally lost on me. -ant- -----Original Message----- From: Mike Taylor [mailto:disconihil...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 6:58 PM To: 313-digest-h...@hyperreal.org Cc: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) Re: Research question about vinyl manipulation I don't know if anyone in the dance scene has done anything like this. This kind of stuff falls more into the noise scene. I can remember the Time Stereo guys drilling holes in records so that they would play off center and sound wobbly, but that is the only thing that comes to mind. This guy has made a career of that gimmick: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Marclay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIFH4XHU228 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVr-_lGxib4 > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Denise Dalphond <ddalp...@umail.iu.edu> > To: ...@hyperreal.org > Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 18:08:48 -0400 > Subject: Research question about vinyl manipulation > Hi all, > > Has anyone ever done or heard of anyone doing the following IN > DETROIT: > > Physically manipulating a piece of vinyl by cutting it down the middle > exactly and then gluing it to another half of vinyl so that the > grooves match up and it can actually play?
