A PERSONALIZED AND IMMEDIATE APPROACH TO VINYL PRODUCTION

Lathe cutting, where recorded sound is cut directly into the recording medium, offers a unique alternative to traditional pressing. Each record is individually cut on the turntable, making it perfect for small series and limited editions of up to 100 pieces.
The Vinylograph specializes in this one-off record production method.

Distinctive Sound

Lathe-cut records offer a distinct sound different from conventional vinyl. With unique groove geometry, they provide an organic and lively audio experience. Hand-cut live, our PVC records are durable and long-lasting, without the need for additional coating or embossing.

Each Record is Unique

The Vinylograph allows for custom-made records in small series and limited editions. We produce 7” singles, single-sided or double-sided, in quantities from 1 to 100 copies. Each record comes with labels, a paper inner sleeve, and a PVC outer sleeve.

Endless Possibilities

Beyond classic 7” singles, we create audio postcards and experimental material recordings. With runtimes of 4 minutes at 45 rpm or 5 minutes at 33 rpm, we cater to your unique ideas. Contact us to discuss your specific needs and schedule a recording session at SSTR6.
