DESCRIPTION:
This video is a demonstration of a device/method that I have used in noise and experimental music performances. DO NOT make the mistake of thinking that I am recommending this as a means of playing records! This method WILL DESTROY YOUR VINYL! You have been warned. Following is the original description that accompanied this video when it was first posted (including my original warning):

"(No Power) Chopstick Turntable" (video demo shot at home, April 7/08). This device was premiered in a "no electricity allowed" live performance at Somewhere There, Toronto during Earth Hour, Mar. 29/08 (participants included Arnd Jurgensen, Michelangelo Iaffaldano, Alan Bloor, William Davison).

WARNING: don't try this at home! (at least, not on records you care about!)
