Jens Standke
The sound installation vinylactites/vinylagmites was created in 2013 as a graduate project at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne. From the simple intention “… to create a sculptural work out of vinyl records …” developed a project with its own aesthetics on a philosophical as well as on a technological level.

Tipton's Niptons
Nipple pasties made from vinyl records.
Tipton works‘ has made a name for itself experimenting with the material properties of vinyl. as a result, they were able to launch vinylize, a brand focusing on unique sunglasses.
Branching off of this research the studio has developed ‘tipton’s niptons’, a project that came from CEO zachary tipton’s girlfriend. ‘two years ago, my girlfriend yulia had an epiphany. She said ‘why don’t you make nipple pasties out of vinyl?’ when she said that, I was like, I gotta marry this woman.’ They are now married and after two years of prototyping, the product is finally ready.
The resulting products are fully customizable, allowing customers to send the company their own records with their choice of colored tassels and additional accessories. once they arrive in the workshop, they are shaped with a manual press and formed with a CNC laser cutter.

Gregor Hildebrandt
Gregor Hildebrandt’s work is characterized by the use of vintage musical and film media like recorded tape of audio and video cassette tapes that he glues on canvas. Sometimes he installs tape as a widespread black fluttering membrane, in other work he uses black molded & compressed vinyl records to make majestic monochrome columns reminiscen.

Keith Haynes
Check out Keith Haynes' artworks.
The piece you see above is entitled Hitsville USA. It's a mixed media artwork cut from 50 original 7-inch, 12-inch and 78 vinyl records, each one chosen because it features the name of a US state.
Says Keith: "I started by collecting songs with titles that mentioned tube stations. As the collection grew I realised I could construct a working tube map from them and have so far completed seven tube maps called the Going Underground series. I then completed a series of maps of the UK – titled Hitsville UK, after The Clash song – before attempting the US map, which became Hitsville USA. The biggest part of creating each piece is searching for those 50 records – a far harder task than I’d originally thought but very rewarding. The records range from the obvious, such as Massachusetts by the Bee Gees to the more arcane and obscure. such as Kentucky Highway by Cyclops Eye. All the records are varied in genre and style are very much a musical road trip across the states."
"The original thought was that I would use my own personal record collection as my source material but I soon realised I had too much of a personal connection to it. So it’s a case of trawling second hand records shops, records fairs, charity shops and of course the internet. For the past year I’ve been collecting records with New York place names in their title and have just completed a map of the New York Subway – Harlem to South Ferry."

Fabrizio Trotta
"Vinyl Spectogram", 2016 by Fabrizio Trotta.
Fabrizio Trotta was born in Paola in 1973, in Calabria, where he currently lives and works after a long musical and artistic experience in Milan. He is a self-taught artist, while in his Milanese years he gained a diploma in Sound Engineering in 1994 and a university degree in Computer Science in 2001.For years he significantly undertook such activity of musical composer, arranger and producer. However, this especially gave him the right training to interpret the sound vibrations that he later converted in visual vibrations in his paintings.Fabrizio Trotta modulates soundwaves and frequencies with many materials and textures. His predilection for the materials and the colour, and his wish to involve the use of all our senses, including olfaction, took him to widen his artistic research to minimal paintings, realized with oil, pigments or spices. In this artworks, called “Chromotherapy” and “Chromoaromatherapy”, the colour, in his therapeutic and cathartic function, becomes the unique protagonist being represented as “material rain” through the new and original painting technique called “Spectrogram”, that reproduces on canvas a 3D spectrogram. After he met public approval in Italy and abroad, and with his works featuring in private and public collections, he creates the “Playing Art” in 2008. This is a new concept of a pictorial, dynamic, interactive and subtly playful art, whose potential is closely linked to the possibility of interaction and intervention by the owner/observer on the painting itself.

grably
A vinyl record is a sound storage medium that was developed in the early
20th century. people would place the pieces onto the top of a
gramophone and gently secure the needle onto its rotating contours so
they could listen to their favorite musicians. because of this action,
people began to form a connection with their discs, keeping them in
pristine condition within their sleeves. since then, time has passed and
technology has advanced, labeling vinyl records as ‘retro’ or ‘old
school’. bringing back this nostalgia, upstairs shop has taken old vinyl records and applied them to a comb design called ‘grably’
Sources: pavel-sidorenko.com \ upstairs-shop.com \ designboom.com
the grooming accessory is available in two versions.
the first, called ‘no.15′, has been created with thick teeth and
increased spacing between them so they can handle the rugged terrain of
curly beards. the second, called ‘no.20′, is the wide tooth comb which
features thinner spikes placed closer together within its dimensions for
longer hair. decorating each surface are a series of rings that have
been maintained in ode to the material’s previous function.
simultaneously, this deliberate preservation provides enables a firm
grip as the product is in use.

Keith Haynes
Keith
Haynes (b.London 1963) presents bright and dynamic artworks created
using a precious collection of vinyl records which have been re-worked
and re-shaped into colourful, bold and familiar snapshots of pop
culture, the result is a playful and nostalgic exploration of music and
pop culture from his past to the present day.
Keith’s work is noteworthy for his interesting choice of materials, creating works from the ‘clutter’ of pop culture - button badges, CDs or, more uniquely, vinyl records. Whether it’s a graphically iconic portrait or a meaningful song lyric each piece is created from original vinyl records chosen to enhance the subject matter; Haynes considers the subject and the object to be of equal importance within his practice.

Daniela Boni
'Circle' by Daniela Boni
Born in Buenos Aires, live and work in Turin (Italy). Working as an advertisement stage designer allowed her experiment with different materials to create ephemeral space and furnishings, an expertise later applied permanent space like private apartments and public place. The next stepsees her creating small furniture objects, like lamps and mirrors, and experimenting with new techniques of wall painting. A slow and progressive work through which Daniela Boni developed her personal style of ambient design-elegant, essential,minimal and at the same time open to suggestion and contaminations from art and music.Her in depth knowledge of the materials renders her an insirend and inspiring design'artisan'.

Read Between the Grooves
Read Between the Grooves
discovering the vinyl record
This project is about vinyl records and its aim is to show what's on a record surface, thus letting one see the shape of grooves and how sometimes that shape matches the kind of music it carries. I chose the hit single Tainted Love by Soft Cell. The spiral-like pattern described by the groove modulation is regular, rhythmical, just as the song is.
Detail of the previous picture: it is possible to see the modulations of the grooves.
The black areas - called "lands" - are the part of the surface which are not cut, while the white lines are the etched grooves.
Detail of the previous picture: each color describe a different function of the groove.
Yellow: Lead in grooves
Grey: grooves which carries no sound
Red: portion of the groove correspondent to a synthesizer phrase
Green, Magenta and Cyan: respectively the grooves at the beginning, middle and end of the song. Outer grooves are less wavy because the information they carry is more spaced out on the surface, while inner grooves are more wavy having to carry the same amount of information as the outer ones but in less space.
Orange: Lead out grooves
The spiral like pattern shows how the shape of the grooves matches the song. By looking at the pattern one can guess the song etched is very rhythmical and has a repetitive structure.
Microscope picture of a portion of the grooves. It is possible to see the two walls of the groove, which carry respectively the right and left channel of the stereo recording.
