\"Vinyl<\/a>

Vinyl is dead<\/p><\/div>\n

This is an important image for this project — it’s the first image in a new format (809×500) that is based on the Golden Rectangle, a rectangle with sides in the ratio of 1:1.618 or one to phi. You might be more familiar with the iconic image of a conch’s curve moving through a series of squares that fit perfectly into a rectangle. It’s also a response to Craig Smith (a regular request contributor for 365sketches) and his request for a sketch about digital sound and vinyl tradition. He said:<\/p>\n

“Much of my love of music lately has been thanks to rediscovering vinyl. I was struck a few years back when Steven Wilson (from my fave band Porcupine Tree) started championing vinyl, maintaining that digital\u00a0 music has diminished music essentially, making portability the key. Music is now a file you download and used as background noise. There’s something about the warmth of sitting around a turntable and actually LISTENING to it. So I started to do this, and I rediscovered music again.<\/p>\n

So then, I wonder if you could work into a sketch the benefits of old analog media (vinyl) vs. portable digital media (CD\/iPod). Dunno if it’s something that would translate, but you’re the idea man. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I was inspired to bring this to you after a conversation I had with Ian Zapczynski, who told me that he remembered a chat he had with you in high school about Voivod’s Nothingface – your opinion was that the drums were ‘too digital sounding’.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks, as usual for the great inspiration, DJ Craig, and I hope that this is a proper combination of digital and analog ideas for you!<\/p>\n
