Digging in the Crates from WE AIN’T PLASTIC on Vimeo.
This is an innovative and cleanly designed interactive visual interface that is applied to turntables in an effort to explore possible new production technologies for modern music. The video is a bit slow to get started but very interesting towards the middle and end. More detail on the project below.
Notes from Vimeo:
“An interactive installation offers possibilities to explore sampling as a production technology of contemporary music. While modified turntables are used to navigate dynamic data visualizations, information graphics as well as auditory contributions are helping to understand complex contents and relations. Besides the history of sampling or technical backgrounds of the digitization of analog audio signals, visitors can also obtain information on the dissociation of sample-based productions and other musicological phenomena such as remixes, mashups or covers. As a highlight of the exhibition the visitor can slip into the role of a producer and goes on a fascinating search for suitable samples, which will be found on soul, funk and jazz records of the 70s and 80s.”
