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.

X - RAY AUDIO
Many older people in Russia remember seeing and hearing strange vinyl type discs when they were young. The discs had partial images of skeletons on them, were called 'Bones' or 'Ribs' and originated in the Cold War years of the Soviet Union.
In an era when the recording industry was ruthlessly controlled by the State, music-mad bootleggers had found an incredible alternative means of making illegal copies of forbidden recordings - they repurposed used X Ray plates obtained from local hospitals.
The X-Ray Audio Project is telling this amazing story of forbidden music, cold war culture, bootleg technology and human endeavour with an online archive, a book, an award winning documentary, live events and a travelling exhibition. The project is supported by Arts Council England and has received a large amount of PRESS and media coverage.
Go HERE to watch TED talk and other films about bone music and the Soviet x-ray bootleggers

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.

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.

Created for the exhibition Lace - contemporary perspectives, the piece
Disc-lace/Disc-grace is configured in two half circles, divided by the
corner of a room. Both sections make reference to Renaissance lace
patterns, one utilizing layered photocopied acetate circles and machine
embroidery and the others lace pattern is industrially cut into the
artist’s collection of vinyl records. This work reflects the artist’s
tendency to reinvent traditional patterns by developing processes that
are intended to blur disciplinary boundaries and challenge conventions
and hierarchies of practice.

'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'.
