Album Info

Release Date: 2006-06-23

Label: Onoma Research

Extracts of a historical voice recording by Thomas Edison where used as basic material for this soundscapes. The recording was processed and only the noises of the recording medium, a tinfoil coated cylinder and accidently present sounds where used.

Dedicated to Charles Cros, whose letter of the 30th April 1877 to the Academy of Sciences in Paris described in detail a mechanism for recording the voice which Thomas Edison never quite got round to building.
