Ode to the Disk

in Lightpainters United6 years ago (edited)

Shot in December 2019 at a friend's house who doesn't believe in streaming services and still faithfully uses his collection of thousands of LPs and CDs.

I gave his collection the laser stripes treatment on a two way camera rotation and then turned on a carefully placed RGB LED strip set to red while I rotated the camera 360 degrees.

Uncompressed music is a minority now, quality decreased since democratization of MP3. What a shame... Fortunately, quality lovers are still there.
As you know buddy, I hate those streaming services too : the more we'll use it, the more we'll need data centers. People should learn from the past to use wisely tools of our present.

Yeah, compressed stuff like spotify offers is a far cry from proper high-res audio. Still better than what I normally get on YouTube. Back in the day converted every CD I bought into flac.. Sure streaming music is not uncompressed or as good and deep as analog or high-res digital but I find the difference neglegible. I do understand that there is value to owning a physical product and the satisfaction of looking at the album art and reading all the inlays but I still go for the convenience of streaming and the intelligent way it finds music I may be interested in and it being accessible instantly.
