The Future Asthetic

I think the future of audio is the way we listen to it and the different ways we can express ourselves through it. We have already seen a rise in vinyl and cassette because people want to experience the warmth of the sound and the nostalgic process of physically setting a needle or winding a tape. I think there will be a rise in recording albums on analogue tape machines to create the ‘vintage sound’. I also predict that old mediums like vinyl, tapes and even gramophones will become a household object, A recent Kickstarter campaign for an upright vinyl player has raised over 1.5 million dollars from people who are interested in this project. The same company has also just started another campaign to make a Bluetooth gramophone that sits in your living room. With more than 6,000 people pre ordering these gadgets, it shows that there is a large market for audio to be a fashion statement just as much a recreation.
