Vinyl fans, and those who appreciate the macabre, may have heard of Bone Music, an artifact of the USSR when banned Western music was secretly pressed onto records using X-rays instead of traditional vinyl. They also might have read about Andvinyly, which will add your loved ones’ ashes to vinyl with a recording of your choice to immortalize departed loved ones.
If we add earth and space scientists into the mix of interested vinyl fans, in a post-credit scene of the Hearing Madge documentary about Andvinyly, founder Jason Leach explains that an Italian artist crushed a meteorite and had him press the dust onto vinyl along with “the sounds of a tornado, volcano, and an earthquake, which is a quite nice one.”
The documentary, by Aeon Video, is well done, but jump to the 9:07 mark to see the meteorite bit.
