LONDON : A sugar-based alternative to vinyl could help to decarbonise the music industry, according to its developer.
"[In] the little bit of lead-in and in between the tracks there's some surface noise. If you like that, if you're a 70s fan, you like that little crackling, great," he said, adding they are continuing to develop the product. "The production of vinyl is toxic in very many ways and there are all kinds of processes in it that are damaging to the environment, but we like vinyl. What's the solution? Find a non-toxic way of doing it. Hey, presto, here we have it," said Lewis Jamieson, a co-founder of MDE.
