Description
Visionaire 53 Sound. Purchased new in 2009. Everything's included, that is:
* Black case numbered 2738
* 5 x 12in printed vinyl records
* Mini Cooper vinyl killer in caddy
* Visionaire 53 Sound edition 9-volt battery
* 2 x CD's
* Booklet
Condition: This collector's set is gently used. The battery has been opened and used. The vinyl killer player has not seen any of the records, but was tested out on other records I had. The records you will receive have never been played, just taken out to admire every now and then. They and the CD's are in perfect condition. I uploaded the CD's to my computer once, put them back in the case, and they've lived there ever since. The plastic dome case has seen some wear from having been moved around and stuff.
Publisher's Description
If you close your eyes, what sense takes over? Do you consume the world in sound bites? Are you moved by the art of noise? Issue 53 of Visionaire-produced this time around in collaboration with the British car manufacturer, MINI-is dedicated to the theme of Sound. Packaged inside a specially produced domed case, it consists of five 12-inch vinyl records, imprinted with images (picture discs), that together contain more than 100 minutes of sound content-from audio experiments to unreleased songs, samples and spoken word pieces. Also included is a MINI Clubman 'Vinyl Killer' record player: a battery-operated toy car, containing speakers and a needle. As the little car moves along a record's groove, it plays each track, acting as a fully portable record player and sound system. Beyond all this, the issue also includes two CDs with all of the sound content gathered digitally, as well as a booklet of credits and instructions. Contributors include: musicians David Byrne, Courtney Love, Michael Stipe, Adam Horowitz (Beastie Boys), Antony & the Johnsons, Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Karl Bartos (Kraftwerk), Andrew WK, Chan Marshall (Cat Power), Danger Mouse, Malcolm McLaren, Ruyuichi Sakamoto; artists Robert Wilson, Yoko Ono, Christian Marclay, Doug Aitken, Gary Hill, Sylvie Fleury; DJs Miss Kittin, Trevor Jackson, Towa Tei, Michel Gaubert; fashion designers Alexander McQueen, Helmut Lang; bands Littl'Ans, Fischerspooner, Unkle, Animal Collective, SunnO))) and many more.
