Nothing Better Than A Vinyl
There is nothing better than listening to your favorite album on vinyl.
Despite the light crackle noise, hum, and occasional pops, sonically vinyls sound much fuller and warmer since they are being played back on a real physical medium. The analog gesture of maintaining and steering your music can really alter your experience and perception of music history. The standard 12-inch record was introduced by Colombia in 1948, thanks to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph in 1877. Thank you, Thomas Edison. But also thanks to Leon Scott who inspired Edison with his invention of the phonautograph in 1857, a device which used a vibrating diaphragm and stylus to graphically record sound waves on sheets of paper, purely for visual analysis without any intent of playing them back. Wow! Technology has progressed and become better over time, like creating ipods and computers, but i guess some things are fine just the way they are.
One of my all time favorite vinyls to listen to is by Stevie Wonder "Songs In The Key Of Life".
Keep in mind this was released in 1976 and it still sounds amazing on this analog medium.
As always, keep on creating.
