Carlos Aires lives and works in Spain, but his work is known far beyond the borders of this country. What the artist does is called vinyl art or vinyl cutouts, but the artist himself prefers to call his works aeroplastics.
However, why do we need tricky words that, in general, do not explain the essence of the hobby? Let's put it more simply and briefly: Carlos Aires is engaged in carving all kinds of figures from the most ordinary, useless, forgotten and abandoned gramophone records.
Once upon a time these large round "cymbals" were in high esteem, turntables and gramophones extracted from them sounds that are now called melodies of past years or retro music … Today they are only suitable for showing off in the collections of connoisseurs of retro style, or for the curious vinyl cutouts of Carlos Aires.
The master calls the records a blessed material. Vinyl is easy to process, polish and lend itself well to deformation and painting. This means that giving new life to old "plates" is a pleasure. Moreover, Carlos Aires himself receives it, and connoisseurs of his work, who visit both the artist's exhibitions and his online gallery dedicated to aeroplastics.

The idea for the Book of Records came from Sir Hugh Beaver, who runs the Guinness Brewing Company, during a party in County Wexford. And the reason was the dispute about the fastest bird in Europe.

"Ali Baba and 40 robbers": Why they did not shoot a movie with the top artists of the USSR on a musical hit, although they sold 3 million records

In the USSR, 3 million records of "Ali Baba" were sold, and the actors, whose voices spoke and sang the heroes of the fairy tale, were recognized on the street: the phrase "Eat an orange!" became among the people as beloved as once "Mulya, don't make me nervous!"
