My father was my first inspiration. He had an incredible stereo and a turntable, and I was told not to touch it. But I'd go back and touch it anyway. I gained a respect for the turntables when I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I came up with a 'cueing system' to work the turntables because they didn't have it at that time.

I've looked at pictures that my mom has of me, from when I was four years old at the turntable. I'm there, reaching up to play the records. I feel like I was bred to do what I do. I've been into music, and listening to music and critiquing it, my whole life.

Transportation

Turntables manage heavy loads, ensuring safe and efficient handling in various industries.

Heavy Loads

Industrial turntables are more technical and not for personal entertainment.

Technical Context

 And if you'd really like to convince yourself, you could build a turntable with three square boxes of equal depth connected to each other around a right triangle.

 How do we figure on the role of apps and design in a modern sensibility with a composer who is very intrigued by data? So, I came up with an iPad app and what we are going to be doing now is essentially as a virtual string quartet with two turntables, violin and cello.
