The Octoplayer


The Octoplayer is a sound and performance piece that plays eight vinyl records at once. The machine simultaneously (and independently) came in dreams to artist-tinkerers Thad and Mark in late 2010. After comparing their separate visions and sketches, the two decided to collaborate on the design and fabrication of the shared hallucination.
