But how he does it turns the heads of  other travelers he encounters. Unlike most of them, he doesn\u2019t plug into an iPod  with 40,000 songs ready for instant playback. Instead he fishes out a 12-inch  vinyl record from a large case, drops it onto a battery-operated turntable,  lifts the arm over the record and sets the needle down on a track.   <!--more-->  <br \/>This  is all too much trouble for most music fans used to the ease of digital media  players. But for Paolo the difference between the sound of vinyl and that of  mp3\u2019s is like the difference between eating a meal at a five-star restaurant  versus fast food. \u201cThe sound is so much warmer and more satisfying,\u201d he states  with conviction. \u201cIt\u2019s the \u2018slow food\u2019 of the music experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Paolo is  not alone. The Vinyl market has been one of the few bright spots in the music  industry in recent years. From 2006 to 2010, vinyl record sales rose over 300%  and are still rising. Surprisingly it is young people who have grown up with  digital entertainment who are leading this trend.<\/p>\n<p>Writer Owen McCafferty  is at work on a book explaining why. \u201cOur generation has grown up in an entirely  digital atmosphere. Music for most young people was always so detached and  intangible. Vinyl satisfies that void of being so disconnected physically,\u201d Owen  describes this as the \u201cdigital devolution.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Paolo\u2019s own obsession with  vinyl records prompted his 75-minute film, Vinylmania: When Life Runs at 33  RPMs. Set in 11 different cities worldwide and filled with fascinating  characters, the film documents a global road trip exploring the role of vinyl  records in the 21st century. The film airs on European TV later this year, but  Paolo has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds to distribute the film  to a broader audience on DVD. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDevotion, ecstasy, infatuation, agony\u2014all  the feelings I experienced from childhood, come out through the characters in  this film,\u201d says Paolo. The film features some key \u201cvinylmaniacs.\u201d Among the  more well known are Klaus Flouride, bassist for the Dead Kennedys, and Winston  Smith, artist for some of the Greenday and Dead Kennedys albums.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinylmaniafilm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.vinylmaniafilm.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Italian disc jockey Paolo Campana travels, it\u2019s no surprise he listens to a lot&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/996\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
