Never ending drum loops on a record with a loop molded into it that doesn’t end. Unlike most records that play in grooves from the edge to the middle, this record has five loops cut into it, the idea being it could be used for the base of another piece of music or music mixed into it or just for a long playing sound. It could be done with any sound lasting from three seconds to one second.
Two reel to reel machines are linked in a circuit, one on record the other playing the reels. The tape is wound around chrome chair legs with elastic bands above and below the tape to keep it in place, these make sure there is a long length of data to record on to, the tape is wiped and played as it goes around, no information is stored ’cause of the recorder. People who go up to the microphone can record a message that will give them five minutes of fame as it will be broadcast with the speakers on the other machine, then loops back to the recorder that wipes it out.
Other suggestions:
(i) The microphone can pick up anything from room ambiance of be placed in a different area like out of an open window to bring the noise of what’s outside in.
(ii) Placing a Korg Kaoss pad between the microphone and the recorder and putting it on the beat matched scrambler effect, this cuts up the sounds it records while reversing parts to make a rhythmic noise.
My idea for a set of china plates playing with traditional designs and patterns.
I imagine the sale of these to be in a pick and mix set from a shop, so you could have a set being all the same plate or a mixture. As with my other plate designs all the colours, dimensions and glazes are the same.
After seeing the BBC show ‘School of Saatchi‘ last week the contestants had to make some artwork for position on stone Hastings beach. I came up with this idea: It’s a large piece of reinforced glass moulded into a large Fresnet lighthouse lens with a metal frame on a concrete base. The public could look out to sea with the warping of the glass as well as it being like a circus hall of mirrors, so as well as decorative it’s fun! Being on a stone beach it wouldn’t be a risk to fire. Below are two diagrams, the first is how the lens works with light when in place in a lighthouse, the other in grey is an example of how the class is molded.
Saatchi’s six chosen artists are commissioned to produce large-scale pieces of art for the seaside resort of Hastings. When their work is constructed on the seafront in Hastings, the artists come face-to-face with the public and have the pleasure of discovering what they think. The final judgment on the artists’ success or failure is down to Charles Saatchi and his panel of advisers.
Ever wanted to open a paint can but you have now screw driver? You cant use a hammer, a spoon bends, a axe is silly. So my new idea is to put a screwdriver on the end of a paintbrush, that way you don’t need to look for one :)
