A text by Campbell Patterson responding to work by Daniel Strang
The following text, octobercircles, was written by Campbell Patterson in response to the exhibtion of VINYL by Daniel Strang.
Exhibited at the Audio Foundation in November 2024, VINYL was a cinematic take on plunderphonics, a crate dive through 100+ years of cinema history, culminating in an audiovisual composition made from 181 sampled films featuring gramophones/record players and the sound/music played within the shots. This tradition was playfully explored via the representation of vinyl/shellac records in cinema history, from Max Linder’s Seven Years Bad Luck (1921) to Ned Benson’s The Greatest Hits (2024), as subject.1
