Remember the days of CDs? Neither do I, but apparently they were the dominant music medium from a mythical time called the 90s. Created by Chen Guoheng, the Sonic Emotional Pulse of Music Player is very aesthetically pleasing, I must say. The actual disc is housed in a [clear plastic display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-3) so you can watch it spin at a blistering 500 rpm. Below that, it gets even neater with a 3D equalizer that moves along with the song!
