  • oh....poisson d'avril

  • HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTT

  • fuckin recordings...how do thay work?

  • @Houshalter Well the pot hasn't been glazed, and a kiln wont ruin the relatively large grooves on the surface. Also, I've got plenty of extremely old gramopohone records from the early 20th century that are made of a ceramic. But alas, you're right-this is most likely a hoax because there's little else on the internet about it, and for something this ground breaking it'd probably receive a bit more attention.

  • @williestratton, I mean, think about it reasonablly for a minute. How would is survive the glazing, kiln, painting, then being buried in dirt, then recovered, and still have viable sound on it? That is implying its possible for a potters wheel to be sensitive enough to record sound, which they are not.

  • @Houshalter was it really!! that's disappointing... : (
