Abstract

The present invention relates to a segmented cylindrical audio-visual device (10) having interlocking disks (12) a first disk (12A) has a first disk bottom side (12AB) with a first disk bottom side female connector (12ABB) centrally positioned thereon. The adjacent second disk (12B) has a second disk top side (12BA) with a second disk top side male connector (12BAB) centrally positioned thereon. The second disk top side male connector (12BAB) is complimentary to and inserts into the first disk bottom side female connector (12ABB) thereby interlocking the first disk (12A) to the adjacent second disk (12B). Each interlocked disk (12) has a disk side (12AC . . . 12JC) having a respective disk side audio-visual track (12ACA . . . 12JCA) thereon. The respective disk side audio-visual tracks (12ACA . . . 12JCA) each represent a separate audio and/or visual track analogous to a song and a music video, respectively. By a user interlocking different disks (12) together a customized audio and visual ensemble is formulated.
