Musician and writer Ziggy Ramo is among rising stars turning to vinyl records to share their music. And the global vinyl trend shows no signs of slowing, with industry forecasts of sales doubling this decade.
It’s a look back on Australia‘s 2008 apology over the Stolen Generations and explores what has really changed in the years since.
"I didn't have the privilege of growing up on my ancestral country because my great-grandmother was stolen. Intergenerational trauma works in a compounding effect because those scars aren't ever healed, it feels like it's us who's taken. Dispossession isn't, it's not an identity, it's a state.
"When you listen to vinyl, there is a physical experience that is a lot more visceral because the sound is in the space with you and it is being generated by a physical artifact with you. Music has forever been a ceremonial and spiritual experience and I think when you have this artifact that is the thing that is generating it, you can't even compare what that feels like."His bespoke record store sells limited editions on vinyl and he has pressed Ziggy Ramo’s new album.
Globally the vinyl record market is worth $16 billion annually and that’s expected to double by 2031 to $30 billion."People have a connection with vinyl that goes beyond what they have with streaming. So in 2023 we saw growth in vinyl of around 14.1 per cent in the value of sales, and that went up to a total of around $42 million, which is quite impressive. Seventy per cent of all physical sales are of vinyl.
