Paradiso: Phonotrope Viewing


A Phonotrope is an animated record, viewed by combining the frame-rate of a camera with the rotational speed of a turntable.


1. Try these suggested settings with a smart phone or a video camera

Shutter Speed: 1/160
ISO: 736 (or 800)
Recording Mode: Normal
Frame Rate: 24

2. View the 7" at 45 RPM.


Tip: Free apps like HEx (cam) work really well for this. 

Digitalia Records' Paradiso is a vinyl-only/free download hybrid album. The single, To Get to the Other Side, is on the a-side of the 7 inch, and the Phonotrope's on the back. The rest of the album is a free download, redeemable with the code* included in the record sleeve, which can be previewed in its entirety here.

The zip folder download's got the album only version of Shampoo Banana, and To Get to the Other Side, the official CSD 2019 selection, plus all the new album tracks!


*Intended for desktop use - unless you're able to open zip folders on your mobile device, the download code should be redeemed on a desktop computer.
