Record sleeve that is also a record player.



when me and my friend paul bought a cd, we'd say "yeah im just gonna give it a listen" and hold it to our ear. A hilarious joke. but now a reality, with this invetion by GGRP sound, and kind of professional music nerd company. By putting the record on a what seems to be a clear square eyletted onto the cardbaord and rotating with a pencil with the needles rested on the disc, the sound suposedly resonates though the cardboard casing. It reminds me of an experiment I did in science when I was about 14. if you have a record player on a turntable, you can amplify it with a sewing needle and a plastic cup. This is the kind of innovative idea id like to use for the Dingus Khan vinyl release. I like the idea of this intimate interaction with the songs, being in complete control of the speed and able to play around way the song sounds. It also helps that now adays When you buy a record a download code for the songs is ususaly given, so that this process (which if Im truely nerdily honest looks like it could damage the record) wouldnt matter too much.
