Put Some Dieter Rams on the Hi-Fi

Currently making the rounds this week among the design-interested is musician Jon Brooks‘ album Music for Dieter Rams. In it, Brooks sampled the noises made by Rams’ beautiful AB-30 alarm clock which the famous and influential designer made for Braun while serving as the company’s legendary head of design. “Every sound on this record, from the melodic sounds to the percussion, the atmospheric effects to the bass lines originates from the Braun AB-30 alarm clock,” he writes.
