****Viewing the zoetrope animations is not as simple as just sticking it on and hoping it works you need to view it through a camera or with a strobe light****
To view with a camera
To view the effect through a camera phone, place the disc on the turntable at the proper speed under a bright light. The shutter will blend the frames together to form a cohesive image on the screen.
(The brighter the light, the clearer the image will appear, so try to use as many light sources as possible for the best results!)
To view with a strobe light app
You can also view the effect with the naked eye through the use of a strobe light or strobe light app. VinylStrobe is a phone app which automatically flashes at 30Hz.
Point the flash at your spinning turntable to see the moving picture. A darker room can provide higher contrast, so try turning out the lights for a clearer image.
Background Skinner announced the 15-track album on 12 July and shared a first song titled "Troubled Waters", which was described as "a dynamically-paced cut" that showcases "deft lyricism" on top of drum and bass beats. Considered a "classic Streets album", it is set to feature contributions by Kevin Mark Trail, Robert Harvey and Teef. A film of the same name will be released alongside the album, dubbed a "tripped out noir murder mystery based in Londons' clubland". He will embark on a tour through the United Kingdom in fall 2023.
Skinner first talked about the project in 2018. Back then he revealed that work on the album and film took "seven long years". After a few first attempts with shorts and music videos, he felt ready to make a film. Initially, he tried a "traditional" approach but soon realised to follow his instincts. As a matter of fact, Skinner took it upon himself to fund, write, direct, act, edit, mix and produce both projects all by himself. He further opined that both projects could not exist without each other, as the album works as a soundtrack and, at times, narrator of the film. In summary, Skinner described The Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light as "all the fruits of a decade on the DJ circuit", impressions of people in clubs and back rooms, as well as "testing out beats and basslines to see what connected".
