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.
Jens Standke (b. 1982 in Georgsmarienhütte) lives and works in Berlin and Cologne, Germany.

Dana Jones
Dana Jones is a sponsored artist and spokesperson for the Cool Kool Shirts shirt brand. Dana creates sculptures he calls "Thots" by melting vinyl records and forming them into abstract shapes.
Through his thot sculptures Dana is conceptually trying to create a pure autonomous concept without any outside influence.
He is obsess with the idea of being self-made. He wants to have full control over his artistic integrity.
Dana uses vinyl records to create "thots" in order to record his unfiltered concousiness into physical forms. Also vinyl records symbolizes the commercial music industry. A industry that transforms the emotions and narratives of artists into commercial products. By melting down the vinyl and reshaping it, Dana is reshaping this commercial system and making it bend for benefits.

Sounding
Created by Lawrence LaBianca and Donald Fortescue
WHAT: The table is made of steel rods and filled it with beach rocks, then it was lowered into the ocean near Pillar Point in Half Moon Bay, where over the course of two months it accumulated living accretions from the ocean. Atop the table is an oversize sound-amplifying funnel reminiscent of the hailing horns used on whaling ships, which is constructed of laser-cut panels of polycarbonate lashed together with nylon zip ties. The horn amplifies and concentrates a sound recording made by a hydrophone close to where the table was submerged.
WHY: Sounding derives from the book Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, which has long been a source of inspiration for LaBianca and Fortescue. Their fascination with Moby-Dick comes in part from its detailed evocation of the bygone crafts of sailing and whaling and the struggles of men at sea, and also from its powerful and ever-relevant dissection of monomania. Through this work they aim to conjure the era of the book’s writing through the use of period forms such as a cabriole-legged table and hailing horn, while making it also very much of the moment by incorporating contemporary sound recordings and digital fabrication technologies. 'Sounding' provides a direct link to the living oceans surrounding the Bay Area through sight, sound, smell, and touch. In both form and concept it also links to the historical, literary, and metaphorical oceans of Moby-Dick.

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.

Georges Monfils
Belgian born (Wilrijk) Georges Monfils was raised in Flemish Belgium
and Northern France. He later migrated to the States. By his late teens
he was living in New York City and his "old world" heritage became fully
exposed to the "factory" (Andy Warhol) cult. Imagine the clash of those
roots with the imagery of booming "pop". That’s his style; "nouveau
pop".
Although being a self taught painter, he got the help and needed encouragement from many well established artists. His unique layering technique fully developed once he changed his medium to acrylic paints. Those he mixes himself and uses some of his favorite Gauguin paintings as inspiration to create his ever growing color palette.
His work confronts us with the same blunt force as that of a child asking about sex. No topic is "off limit"; let yourself be drawn into the subject matter and your imagination challenged, while execution and color engulf you into his world.

Christian Ernest Marclay
Christian Ernest Marclay (born 11 January 1955) is a Swiss and American visual artist and composer.
Marclay's work explores connections between sound, noise, photography, video, and film. A pioneer of using gramophone records and turntables as musical instruments to create sound collages, Marclay is, in the words of critic Thom Jurek, perhaps the "unwitting inventor of turntablism." His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the late 1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop's use of the instrument.

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.

Satch Hoyt
Satch Hoyt, born in London, currently lives and works in Berlin.
He makes sculptures and installations accompanied with sound as well as paintings and drawings.
This installation is called "Celestial Vessel".
As
a mixed race youth growing up in London in the 1960s and early 1970s,
Hoyt would eagerly await the arrival of the latest US imports at the
record store. It was not only a place to discover new music, but an
outlet to another world, where records informed him of the social and
political climate in the African American community and helped him shape
his personal identity. Hoyt brings his sculpture to life with his sound
composition, which samples the records on this canoe and beyond to
collage together the richly diverse sounds of Africa, North and South
America, and Europe.

This installation is called "Celestial Vessel".
Is a canoe made from 1950s RCA Victor Red
Seal 45rpm records that represents the voyage from Africa to the
Americas and the importance of music in holding different cultures
together during the slave trade. The boat form refers to modes of
dispersion, especially eighteenth-century accounts of canoes which were
used to transport captured Africans from the inland to coastal slave
markets. But it also reads as a ghost ship ready to carry us between
realms, from the harsh realities of the physical world to the promise of
the afterlife. The red records act as an imaginary archive that speaks
to the critical role of music as a means to transmit information and
bring people together, as well as to the hardships that African American
jazz artists endured in the music industry during the segregated 1950s.

The Sound of the Earth
The Sound of the Earth is a content of Yuri Suzuki`s spherical record project, the grooves representing the outlines of the geographic land mass.
Each country on the disc is engraved with a different sound, as the needle passes over it plays field
recordings collected by Yuri Suzuki from around the world over the course of four years;
traditional folk music, national anthems, popular music and spoken word broadcasts.
An aural journey around the world in 30 minutes.
