The manner in which the discs seem to hover above the ground seems to link the physical nature of the records with the floating, insubstantial nature of music. The physical delicacy of the analogue information storage system which contains the information about the music on the disks (the grooves) is also significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s another work composed of <a href=\"https:\/\/christophermadden.art\/contemporary-art\/tower-of-vinyl-records\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/christophermadden.art\/contemporary-art\/tower-of-vinyl-records\/\">vinyl records<\/a> here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Floor assemblage: vinyl records 12 inch vinyl records &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dimensions variable &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; May 2022 A sculptural work composed of a number of 12 inch vinyl LP records arranged on the floor.
