The Vinyl Ambulance

Written By Jude de Souza - February 22 2019

The Vinyl Ambulance
Ignatius Camilo aka Iggythebastard aka Father Obnoxious's is the founder of mobile sound system, the Vinyl Ambulance 
Below is a transcript of a the conversation with Ignatius Camilo. 

How did the vinyl ambulance come about?
We decided to open another branch of Cirrus [https://www.facebook.com/CirrusGoa] in the mountains we had someone funding it, a friend. He liked my work in Anjuna. Didn't want to waste money so instead of buying flight tickets they found an old bus online and then we bought it and all the materials and tools needed to build the bus.


Me, my dogs, my whole family, and friends took the bus to Himachal and opened a cafe there but it didn't work out because of the hostile conditions. 
Money minded people couldn't understand the motive behind our venture and kept asking me for money to run the cafe.



The next season the bus was just lying around there and I was getting a bit anxious and suddenly this crazy idea comes to my head about vinyl ambulance.


My romance (tryst) with vinyl has been going for years now, two decades. 
So I thought of having a big bus that moves around playing music with the sound system inside and that's how I came up with the name vinyl ambulance.
The bus was huge, it was too big, and I had a jeep lying around, getting rusted so I called up a German friend of mine who's a DJ and a carpenter. He's a good artist and a great carpenter.

One day, I called him and asked "have you ever thought of making a vehicle from wood?" He said no and I told him that I have a jeep lying around and I want to make another ambulance now - Vinyl Ambulance 002.

I briefed him on the plan because the bus is too big to take it in smaller venues so I thought we could use the jeep because then we can take it anywhere. Instead of buying a new vehicle lets make one.

And that's how second one came about and now there's a third one.
Anyone can be used on the requirement of the clients/party. 



How long did it take?
First ambulance took us about 2-3 months. 
The second one took very long because it was very complicated, for the first one we just had to raise the roof up by about half a meter so that we could stand inside even that was complicated but a friend of mine helped me with that.
The second one had a very complex design and that took us about 6-7 months because it was in the monsoon, it was raining outside, power-cuts, and we only had the basic tools.
The third was the 'simplest' and only took a month.



What plans are in store for the future?
I have a plan. The plan is to push music and I think the concept is unique and amazing.



People see our photos and they see us out there. The plan is to just keep playing whenever we get booked. If someone wants to book us, they can call me directly or contact my agency nrtya, they handle all the bookings.
