# Graphic Note Record Players Dyskograf Lets You Draw on Your Own Rhythm on Vinyl to be Played By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-10-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyskograf References: [everydaylistening](http://www.everydaylistening.com/articles/2012/10/27/dyskograf.html) & [avoka.fr](http://www.avoka.fr/) Dyskograf takes the idea behind music making software programs and turns it into a highly advanced creative exploration. People are able to draw on the vinyl disks with a felt tip pen, scribbling or coloring in the little boxes on the white design to discover the composers locked away inside of them. The scribbles on the disk are detected by a camera on the turntable that is able to read the drawing and turn it into a sequence of beats. The more you add, the more depth your beat will have, creating a series a notes that you might even be able to bust a move to. Dyskograf harmonically blends software generated music products with the act of jotting musical notes out on paper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Vinyl:** Opportunity to create a new line of interactive vinyl records that allow users to draw and create customized beats. - **Creative Music Making:** Potential for innovative software and hardware products that combine artistic expression with music production. - **Physical-digital Integration:** Opportunity to develop technologies that bridge the gap between physical drawing and digital music creation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Music Production:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create cutting-edge music production tools that embrace creativity and interactivity. - **Interactive Toys:** Opportunity to develop interactive toys and gadgets that merge traditional play with digital music creation. - **Educational Technology:** Potential for educational technology products that combine music learning with hands-on artistic expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metallic Architectural Record Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rytm.md) - [Record-Making Music Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/po80-record-factory-kit.md) - [Virtual Vinyl Players](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turntable-music-explorer.md) - [Tactile Interactive Music Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha.md) - [DIY Digital Music Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/record-factory.md) - [Analog-to-Digital Vinyl Recorders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinyl-capture-workstation.md) - [Instant Music Sketchbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everglow.md) - [Color-Changing Eccentric Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-turntable-ii.md) - [Dynamic Multi-Use Turntables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korg.md)
