looping turntablist Christian Marclay



Interesting snippet of an interview with the avante garde turntablist, 
Christian Marclay

"PSF: How did you pick out which records would be used?
 CM: They were just thrift store records --I never spent more than a 
dollar 
on a record. It was just junk, and I would stick things on them to MAKE 
THEM 
LOOP (sic). I even used an old wind-up gramophone that I found in the 
garbage. It was also at MassArt that I found these great turntables 
(Califone) that I've been using ever since. They used to be in every 
school's audio-visual department for instructional presentations. "

Wonderfully creative and thought provoking interview.

Does anyone, perchance know if he was the experimental turntablist who was 
featured on that amazing music variety show Night Music that David Sanborn 
hosted in the late 80's-early 90's?
I saw an artist who used colored wax and multiple turntables to create 
these 
wonderful and strange looping pieces of music.
The needle would jump over the was and then loop back to it's original 
position.
I've been googling for an hour looking for who this person was.   Dr. Z. 
would have emailed me back in 10 minutes if he were here with five 
URLS........ :-(
Happy Turkey (or Vegan Roll) day everyone!!!
