Christian Marclay
(b. 11 January 1955, San Rafael, California, USA) is a Swiss-American visual artist and composer.
Marclay's work explores connections between sound, noise, photography, video, and film.

His own use of turntables and records, beginning in the late 1970s, was developed independently of but roughly parallel to hip hop's use of the instrument.
