Installation Yokomono at Gallery Kapelica, Ljubljana, 2007

See the vinyl killers orchestrate a wireless symphony in Yokomono by Staalplaat Soundsystem.

Yokomono is one of the best known projects of Staalplaat Soundsystem founded by Dutchman Geert-Jan Hobijn and German Carsten Stabenow, and it promises to be a lot of fun.

Four little cars called 'vinyl killers' will run round and round on specially made vinyl records. Each one is effectively a little record player, fitted with a wireless FM transmitter which will send signals to stacks of radios piled up in Newcastle's alt.gallery.

Musical harmony can not be guaranteed as the vinyl killers run on batteries which will run down but not necessarily at the same rate. Each transmitter will also interfere to some extent with the other. It's a case of set them off and see - and hear - what happens.

Produced by AV Festival 08 in collaboration with alt.gallery
