Vinyl Requiem is an evocative celebration of the end of an era which was originally a performance in 1993 at the Union Chapel in London and featured 180 Dansette record players. Created by sound artist Philip Jeck in collaboration with visual artist Lol Sargent, the work was produced by shinkansen (a previous incarnation of body>data>space).
You can see a video from the initial 1993 performance here and read more about pioneer ‘sound and movement research and production unit’ shinkansen here
