'endless rain record' is a phonograph record designed by kouichi okamoto from kyouei design ltd.
grooves in the record form circles which endlessly play the sounds of rain falling.
it was created for the 'rain' exhibition which will be part of taiwan designers' week,
where he will play the records on turntables to create the sound of rain drops through the
exhibition space.

What a beautiful artifact, I wonder how long you would have to leave it playing for the record to wear out?
