How to Turn a Bicycle into a Record Player (pt 2)

How to Turn a Bicycle into a Record Player is the second Thinktank by Mark Dixon and Chris Huggins. The scene is an abandoned office space. First we loaded the room up with tools, food, water and the ole five gallon bucket. We also had a bicycle and a dozen records. At the word go we gave ourselves an hour to search through the rest of the abandoned office space for other useful materials then the door was shut and sealed for the duration. It took us 41.5 hours to play our first record. This video consists of 12768 still photos displayed as a time lapse. At the end the video slows down to real time so you can hear the first successful song, a Disney joint about learning to tell time. Time is tricky. We're still learning.

I'd have issues working in a filthy office barefoot, but that's just me.

I like the irony of the song that you play once you get it to work.
