Item 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.
  • 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.





 

About Us

We were introduced to eBay in 1998. Throughout the years we have offered a wide range of merchandise from electronics to native american art. We have been consistant in bringing you the best products at affordable prices.

The majority of the items we offer are from large on-line retailers. Often on-line orders never make it to the customer for various reasons. Sometimes customers either fail to pick up their (ship-to-store) orders or they return the item because they changed their mind. Occasionally the reason may be a minor cosmetic issue with the packaging etc. We are able to offer the same items you would buy at such retailers at significant discount to you. Most items are new, many are sealed in box but regardless, we make an effort to accurately describe in words and by pictures to make it an easy decision for you.

We offer you the confidence of knowing that what you see is what you get. We ship our orders in one business day whenever possible. We are committed to making your buying experience on eBay easy, quick and safe.
