Graham Dunning has been pushing the turntable well beyond its intended purpose for years, and his latest experiment is the most elegant demonstration yet of what that research actually looks like in practice. By placing ball bearings on a spinning turntable, Dunning triggers a series of switches that feed directly into a Roland TR-8 drum machine via MIDI, generating a continuous stream of 16th-note triplets from an entirely mechanical process. It’s simultaneously absurd and completely logical, and the footage is genuinely hard to stop watching.
