detail of Silver Sounds, 2009
This
is a project that pares down a record player to its bare bones.
Only a few parts are needed in order to succeed. It is inspired
by the Card Talk players that were produced by the Global
Recording Network (a Los Angeles based organization that is
devoted to spreading the Christian gospel). This record player
requires only the power of the listener to drive. Thus, it
provides a more personal relationship to the content provided.
The act of making this simple record player and using it to
listen to vinyl creates fresh connections that are formed
through the experience of making, problem solving, and sourcing.
Silver
Sounds was my submission to the This & That Show (Curated
by Christine Wong Yap at Triple Base in San francisco) where
all artwork was to be able to fit inside an 9" x 12"envelope.
