Optical Sound is an art installation.
“Seven record players. While one of them continuously plays the LP Programme Radio that was composed with Rainier Lericolais and Christel Brunet (reference OS.000) the six other turntables are switched on randomly and we can hear the sudden jumps and clicks of purposely scratched 45’s of light variety music.“

As you might remember, La Belle Records and APC threw a little contest the other week. Your task was to name the “belle” you were thinking of when you heard Rodion & Khan’s new single “Discoteca Romana”.

We’re happy to announce the winner today: Alice from Oceanic Mood. Her “belle” and answer? “Antonella Ruggerio, mostly known for her co-lab with italo-disco pioneers Matia Bazar and the wonderful mega-hit “Ti sento”. With a small addition of Kaoma (of Lambada fame) – all with a Kraftwerk filter!”

So, La Belle Records – why did Alice’ contribution win then? “Because she’s a belle and because there’s Rome in the song title. So simple, so perfectly logical. Bullseye!”

Well put! Congrats Alice! La Belle will be in touch with you shortly!

What’s more – they’re throwing loads of brilliant stuff your way as well!!

Here’s the deal
1) Head over to La Belle’s Facebook page and hit the “Like” button.

La Belle Records picks the best answer & motivation – and the winner gets a nice little La Belle pack with goodies.

NOTE! You must both “Like” La Belle’s FB page – AND write a motivation here on APC. No “Like”? No go! Also make sure you fill out a proper e-mail address, so we can contact you in case you’re the lucky winner. Good luck!
