Eno’s Neon Turntable II: A Luminous Sonic Journey

Renowned English musician Brian Eno unveils the latest iteration of his mesmerizing neon turntable, igniting a symphony of color and sound at the Paul Stolper Gallery in London until March 9th, 2024. Dubbed “Turntable II,” this vibrant creation, adorned with acrylic LED lights, offers a sensorial journey through shifting hues and rhythmic colorscapes.

Much like its predecessor, Turntable II emerges as a limited edition marvel, with only 150 units available worldwide. Beyond its functionality as a musical device, Eno’s neon masterpiece transcends into the realm of sculpture, casting an ethereal aura wherever it resides, akin to the transcendent melodies of his musical repertoire.

Crafted with precision, Turntable II boasts a mesmerizing amalgamation of a platter and base, adorned with sequenced acrylic LED lights. Each fortunate owner of this rarity is bestowed with Eno’s signature, etched alongside the edition number, a testament to its exclusivity. The choreographed dance of lights, enveloped in vibrant hues of pink, blue, orange, and green, unfolds organically, lending an ambient glow to the vinyl-listening experience.

Eno’s Turntable II harmoniously accommodates both 33 and 45rpm vinyl, orchestrating a symphony of psychedelic luminosity as the music plays. Describing the light sequence as “Colorscapes,” Eno draws inspiration from luminaries such as James Turrell and Mondrian, infusing his creation with painterly compositions reminiscent of the Russian avant-garde. The gradual evolution of colors mirrors the natural rhythms of day and night, a poetic ode to the cosmic dance of light.

For aficionados eager to immerse themselves in this luminous spectacle, Paul Stolper Gallery extends an invitation to the launch event on February 13th at 16:00 GMT. Attendees will have the opportunity to witness Turntable II firsthand, delving into the intricacies of its luminous display as LED lights weave through the delicate acrylic material. At present, the gallery reveals the launch price of Brian Eno’s Turntable II stands at 20,000 pounds, a testament to its status as a coveted collector’s item.
