Vinyl Terror and Horror uses physically altered vinyl records and many turntables to produce an eerie soundscape.
Well, they don't go to heaven where the angels fly.

to produce an eerie soundscape.
suitable background for something or other. I actually find it quite relaxing if I'm not actually looking at the visuals, which terrify me because you're just not supposed to treat turntables and needles and cartridges that way.

Well, they used to go the Lake of Fire and fry on Emil Beaulieau's turntable.

One should also mention Christian Marclay, whose work predates both Jeck and ... whoever this person is ... although he is now most famous for his 24-hour-long film, The Clock.
Marclay on Night Music in 1989.

I'm a person who tends to take the world the way it is presented, so I admire the hell out of someone who so fiercely bends things to the way they want them to be.
