"Sway Array Designs revives the window shopping experience for music aficionados."

Q: What inspired the 3D capture of The Lost & Found Record Shop?

I was inspired by the everchanging selection within this 'rest stop' for music, art, and media in a remote Northern City of the U.S. The cultural variety of buys, sells, and trades invites any online explorer to remember and wonder through sight and sound.

Q: What are the “must-sees” you want visitors to explore and why?

Viewer favorites are the interactive instruments, stereos, television, and turn-tables which become conduits for multiple genres of music, radio theatre broadcasts, and an iconic episode of Soul Train from 1979.

Q: What's the one thing you want visitors to take away after exploring the record store?

Music is universal… The sound of uniquely arranged notes with harmony and rhythm make us feel, move, and imagine, which are all the ingredients needed for communicating and building a better tomorrow. Explore, listen, remember, and imagine…

Q: What's the story behind this unique and wonderfully curated shop?

Lost and Found began inside the CoOp Plaza in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska and eventually moved to a store front on 2nd Avenue which locals refer to as “2 Street.” The new increase in retail space and curb exposure provided the full attention it deserves.

Q: How were you inspired to embed music into the Mattertags?

The first time I walked through the store, my eyes began reviewing the selection of media as I began replaying songs and videos in my mind. Music is my gravity and has been my lifelong company which inspired me to create a 3D Model of sight and sound that is timeless.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?

I periodically change the media selections within this model to keep viewers wondering what is next. Feel free to make requests and I will bring your favorite media to life in this model, with you to thank for the share.
