Bloc Party’s Kele is releasing the world’s first 3D printed vinyl record
To support music therapy charity Nordoff Robins, Bloc Party lead singer Kele Okerek is releasing the first 3D printed vinyl single. From Guardian UK:
Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has teamed up with singer/songwriter Bobbie Gordon to release a new track – Down Boy – as a 3D-printed record. The limited-edition single will be sold from a pop-up shop in London in December, complete with a choice of four sleeves created by designer Kate Moross.
The project is backed by Bacardi, with proceeds going to British music charity Nordoff Robbins. The technology comes from American researcher Amanda Ghassaei, based on a technique she developed in 2012 for converting digital music files into 3D-printable records.
We posted previously about Amanda’s work, including her recent wooden ‘vinyl’ creation.
