Continuing the MNML Series One (minimal series one) with 45rpm, a carefully coded celebration of the 45rp single format. The grooves are "mathematically" correct, in that they are created by setting a bpm per track and the spiral in the disc forms as the rotation gets smaller. I wanted to make sure the patterns were just random but worked in the same way as they would on a real vinyl, although the maths was tweeked a little to make the pattern more pleasing.

These spirals were often prevalent in the Acid House records at the time. Some of the 45rpms cheekily squeeze two tracks onto a single side.

Instructions

=======================================

Print size is square.

Keypresses

'h' - toggle high resolution
's' - save PNG file

Printing

The high resolution image outputs at 8,192 x 8,192 pixels.

Print 27.3" x 27.3" at 300dpi Print 69.4cm x 69.4cm at 300dpi

Add ?forceWidth=xxxx where xxxx is the pixels size you want. For example to print at 100cm high, the width would need to be 100cm. 100cm in inches is 39.37" at 300dpi = 11,811 pixels width. So using ?forceWidth=11811 and downloading will give you an PNG large enough to be safely printed at 1 meter height.
