Digging In The Crates is a fantastic interactive installation developed by Roland Loesslein, aka We Ain’t Plastic, for his diploma thesis while studying at the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg, Germany. What was I saying about Germans and music?
Here’s how it works:
- Choose one of 50 records from the 70s and 80s.
- Place the record on the turntable. A projection onto the record itself shows included samples as shaded areas.
- Choose between play mode or analyze mode.
- In analyze mode, this modified turntable acts as a tangible interface used to navigate and analyze each single sample on the launched record.
This project reminds me of my “Do You Know Who Built Your House?” series where I present the original records that were sampled by various House Music artists.
