DESIGN INSPIRATION

stroh violin
a kind of violin made with the concept of gramophone
it is a kind of violin for early recordings because of its loudness compare to normal violin

PROJECT INITIATION

a scartch
a scar
a record of past

past is passed... it can only be trace/recreate from the scars/records
the recreation conceptually is not comprehensive.. it must be subjective

but that is the value of tracing the past of someone.. from his point of view

one can gather different point of views.. but cannot deny ones point of view as not exact.. as that point of view is exactly the whole meaning of the past to one

gramophone may not reproduce the best sound comparing to the original sound source
but "the best" is defined from our perception/ point of view

i think we can see the sound as.. the best the most precise reproduction of sound from the perspective of the gramophne

Gramophone convinced me with its analog method of recording and irreversible/unchangable characteristica of recording
as
the finest reproduction of my recorded sound and ideas

GRAMOPHONE

the first ever machine that can sound like a human
a storage of time
container of sound/ideas

irreversible
sound recorded as a passage of time
past can be denied(break the disc) but not changed

destructive method of recording-carving
-> 刻骨 of positive/negative memories ... like carved onto ones body
