Experimental analog sampling with modified vinyls.

Sectors from a vinyl record are cut and replaced by pieces with exact shape from other records. When played in a vinyl player the needle follows the grooves from both sectors creating sampled tunes or loops.

    Uh, that's pretty much it!
    Do you know how he joints the pieces? They seem to be pressed again. Is there any video of these records being played?
    Thanks for sharing!
  • Entropy & Energy 5 months ago
    To be honest I think that what you have done takes a lot more care and effort than what it looks like Marclay is doing. From what I gather Marclay cuts the records in halves or quarters and sticks them together, and for him the loud click or jump between the records then creates the new rythm or drum track as it were. You appear to have made much more of an attempt to cut sections out and piece the records together. I really like what you have done too and would like to make some myself with different styles of records.

    The analogue way of sampling!!
    A bit cumbersom but awesome!!
    It'd be great if there was a way to multilayer sample like this, vertically.. thanks for the video!!

    I agree with Simone Bissolati. Reminds me of the background record in Cheech & Chong's "Strawberry Revival Festival"

    you cut vinyl in a lasercutter??

    This is such a fun concept.

    Q1: are the grooves somehow lining up?

    Q2: do you have any records pressed in other colors than black? Because that seems like the next step.
  • Ishac Bertran 4 months ago
    a1: not really, that's why sometimes it follows the grooves from the parts sequentially and sometimes it falls in a loop
    a2: I couldn't find in the 2nd hand music store, I'll keep looking :)

    I think it is impossible to align two pieces of vinyl to be heard without clicks or without the needle jump with a simple piece of tape to hold the fragments.

    I do not know that you cut the vinyl, but when you cut a plastic that has strains and abrasions at the edges enough to make me seem impossible that the needle does not jumping

    I think it's very difficult for the drums of two different songs in two different vinyl match exactly the same coordinates in two different records.
