A picture booth is a basic idea – decrease in a coin as well as get a few photos in a couple of minutes. That’s only a visual record, though. What if you wished to record audio? therefore the disk-o-mat was born.

The disk-o-mat is one of [flo]’s projects. In location of the miniaturized dark space discovered in a picture booth, [flo] put a record cutting setup. The 7″ records are polycarbonate sheets, each transferred to the turntable by a vacuum gripper. When the plastic disk is loaded, a stylus is set down on the disk as well as the record light goes on.

There isn’t a computer or any type of other digital indicates of saving audio as well as playing it back later. whatever is done just as exactly how 45s – or a lot more specifically, truly old 78s – were cut; whatever goes into the microphone is cut directly into plastic.

The disk-o-mat was originally developed in 2009, as well as has traveled to a few venues. [flo] is working on speeding up the process as well as making the maker a bit a lot more reliable. Still, an remarkable develop as well as an remarkable concept.
