Christian Marclay Rocks the Turntable

Christian Marclay (born 1955) is a visual artist and musical composer based in New York, who is exploring the pattern languages connecting sound, photography, video, and film.

Marclay uses records and turntables in musical performances, and was one of the earliest and one of the most notable musicians to do so outside a hip hop context. His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the mid-1970s, was developed independently of hip hop's use of the instrument. He is "the most influential (turntable) figure outside hip hop." [1] Marclay sometimes manipulates or damages records to produce continuous loops and skips, and has said he generally prefers inexpensive used records purchased at thrift shops.
