Scheduled dates
Listen to early recordings as heard by your great-grandparents! Connect with early 20th century music through wax cylinders and develop an understanding of their role within society at the time.
An engaging and interactive one hour workshop will present early recordings and recording technologies, inviting you to discover a range of historical playing machines, including phonographs and gramophones. Participants will have the chance to learn about the history of recordings, the music registered on those recordings, and the social and cultural context of their production.
As a part of this event, we will record wax cylinders in front of the audience, creating an entertaining way for everybody to learn how mechanical sound recording technologies work.
This event is part of a series run by University of Surrey.
