Janek Schaefer is a sound artist and was born in England to Polish and Canadian parents in 1970. About While studying architecture at the Royal College of Art RCA annual prize, he recorded the fragmented noises of a sound activated dictaphone travelling overnight through the Post Office. That work, titled 'Recorded Delivery' [LINK: 1995] [1] was made for the 'Self Storage' exhibition Time Out critics choice with one time postman Brian Eno and Artangel. Since then the multiple aspects of sound became his focus, resulting in many releases, installations, soundtracks for exhibitions, and concerts using his self built/invented record players with electroacoutisc collage. The 'Tri-phonic Turntable' 1997 is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the 'World's Most Versatile Record Player'.
