  • Psaudio Copper
    Issue 133 MARCH 29TH, 2021 Copper has a new look! So does the rest of the PS Audio website, the result of countless hours of hard work. There's more functionality and easier access to articles, and additional developments will come. There will be some temporary glitches and some tweaks required – like high-end audio systems, magazines sometimes need tweaking too – but overall, we're excited to provide a better and more enjoyable reading experience. I now hand over the column to our esteemed Larry Schenbeck: Dear Copper Colleagues and Readers, Frank has graciously asked if I’d like to share a word or two about my intention to stop writing Too Much Tchaikovsky. So: thanks to everyone who read and enjoyed it – I wrote it for you. If you added comments occasionally, you made my day. I also wrote the column so I could keep learning, especially about emerging creatives and performers in classical music. Getting the chance to stumble upon something new and nourishing had sustained me in the academic world – it certainly wasn’t the money! – and I was grateful to continue that in Copper. So why stop? Because, as they say, there is a season. It has become considerably harder for me to stumble upon truly fresh sounds and then write freshly thereon. Here I am tempted to quote Douglas Adams or Satchel Paige, who both knew how to deliver an exit line. But I’ll just say (since Frank has promised to leave the light on), goodbye for now. The door is open, Larry, and we can’t thank you enough for your wonderful contributions.

  • Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka
    Historical Development of Magnetic Recording and Tape Recorder 3 Masanori Kimizuka ■ Abstract The history of sound recording started with the "Phonograph," the machine invented by Thomas Edison in the USA in 1877. Following that invention, Oberlin Smith, an American engineer, announced his idea for magnetic recording in 1888. Ten years later, Valdemar Poulsen, a Danish telephone engineer, invented the world's frst magnetic recorder, called the "Telegraphone," in 1898. The Telegraphone used thin metal wire as the recording material. Though wire recorders like the Telegraphone did not become popular, research on magnetic recording continued all over the world, and a new type of recorder that used tape coated with magnetic powder instead of metal wire as the recording material was invented in the 1920's. The real archetype of the modern tape recorder, the "Magnetophone," which was developed in Germany in the mid-1930's, was based on this recorder.After World War II, the USA conducted extensive research on the technology of the requisitioned Magnetophone and subsequently developed a modern professional tape recorder. Since the functionality of this tape recorder was superior to that of the conventional disc recorder, several broadcast stations immediately introduced new machines to their radio broadcasting operations. The tape recorder was soon introduced to the consumer market also, which led to a very rapid increase in the number of machines produced. In Japan, Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo, which eventually changed its name to Sony, started investigating magnetic recording technology after the end of the war and soon developed their original magnetic tape and recorder. In 1950 they released the frst Japanese tape recorder.

  • Video and the Origins of Electronic Photography Revised
    Video and the Origins of Electronic Photography Peter Sachs Collopy Published in translation as “La vidéo et les origines de la photographie électronique,” Transbordeur: Photographie histoire société 3 (2019): 26–35. Over the last two decades, electronic media have usurped their photochemical predecessors. Most of what we now call photography is produced by light striking a charge-coupled device rather than silver halide crystals. Electronic imaging technology has largely replaced both still and moving image film. We’ve come to associate this technological revolution with digital media, programmable machines capable of reducing many forms of information—including the light captured by electronic sensors—into a single binary representation. “The general digitization of channels and information,” argues Friedrich Kittler, “erases the differences among individual media.… Inside the computers themselves everything becomes a number: quantity without image, sound, or voice.… A total media link on a digital base will erase the very concept of medium.”1 Digitization was not, though, the moment at which photography began to share a medium with sound and quantification. Our current association of the digital with progress can distract us from the historical fact that the most sophisticated electronic technologies have often been analog ones, processing information as continuous variations in voltage or current and recording it as continuous variations in magnetic fields. The discourse of the digital can also obscure continuities between electronic media, preventing us from seeing how much analog and digital modes of representing information have in common. Rather than thinking of the recent decline of film as a process of digitization, we might just as productively see it as a culmination of the rise of electronic photography, a phenomenon that has introduced into our visual experience not only the digital but also the analog.

    Sound Evidence: An Archaeology of Audio Recording and Surveillance in Popular Film and Media by Dimitrios Pavlounis A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Screen Arts and Cultures) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Sheila C. Murphy, Chair Emeritus Professor Richard Abel Professor Lisa Ann Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar Professor Gerald Patrick Scannell © Dimitrios Pavlounis 2016 For My Parents ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My introduction to media studies took place over ten years ago at McGill University where Ned Schantz, Derek Nystrom, and Alanna Thain taught me to see the world differently. Their passionate teaching drew me to the discipline, and their continued generosity and support made me want to pursue graduate studies. I am also grateful to Kavi Abraham, Asif Yusuf, Chris Martin, Mike Shortt, Karishma Lall, Amanda Tripp, Islay Campbell, and Lees Nickerson for all of the good times we had then and have had since. Thanks also to my cousins Tasi and Joe for keeping me fed and laughing in Montreal. At the University of Toronto, my entire M.A. cohort created a sense of community that I have tried to bring with me to Michigan. Learning to be a graduate student shouldn’t have been so much fun. I am especially thankful to Rob King, Nic Sammond, and Corinn Columpar for being exemplary scholars and teachers. Never have I learned so much in a year. To give everyone at the University of Michigan who contributed in a meaningful way to the production of this dissertation proper acknowledgment would mean to write another dissertation-length document.

  • Bouchard, Justin
    Bouchard 1 Justin Bouchard Dr. Bruce Simon/Dr. James Davis INDS 690-Research 11 December 2012 Older Technological Sound Recording Mediums: Problems of Preservation and Accessibility The evolution of sound recording technology has made capturing and preserving audio simple. So why is our musical heritage largely inaccessible or unavailable? The art of preserving a recording of sound and playing it back has only been around since 1877. According to the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra artistic advisor and creative chair Tim Page: “It is sometimes said that the human race is losing its sense of the past” (5). It would be terrible if we lost nearly a century and a half of our past recorded musical heritage, preserved on various mediums. Many, including cylinders and early 78 discs, are decomposing and/or broken. Due to strict and muddy United States copyright laws, many early sound recordings have disappeared forever. Books, films, even sheet music published before January 1, 1923 are available in the public domain in the United States. The same cannot be said for sound recordings made before January 1, 1923. Until February 15, 2067, no sound recordings made before 1972 will enter the public domain in the United States. By the time of the copyright expiration date, many of our earliest sound recordings may be lost due to deterioration. This date may well be “the day the music died” (Sharp 310). Despite these obstacles, many sound archivists and engineers have taken matters into their own hands to preserve our musical past. Using state of the art digital technological Bouchard 2 means, these individuals have made a small sampling of sound recordings available from almost total obscurity and disintegration.

Are current technologies poised to bring about new kinds of musical experiences yet again? Could these new kinds of music be every bit as transformative and impactful as recorded music was in the 20th century? Fluid Music proposes one possible trajectory by which this could happen: harnessing the internet’s power for massive asynchronous collaboration in the context of music production.

  • 1888-1988: a Hundred Years of Magnetic Sound Recording*
    Phonographic Bulletin, No 51, July 1988, p 88----20202020 1888-1988: A HUNDRED YEARS OF MAGNETIC SOUND RECORDING* Friedrich Karl Engel Vice Chairman, AES Technical Archives Committee, Europe Region Audio Tape Application Engineering Dept., BASF AG, D-6700 Ludwigshafen, FRG In the past, the essay "Some Possible Forms of Phonograph" by the American engineer Oberlin Smith, dating from 1888, has been regarded merely as a first indication of the possibility of electromagnetic sound recording. The Danish engineer Valdemar Poulsen has hitherto been considered to be the actual inventor of this method of sound recording. A recently discovered reader's letter proves that Smith constructed a unit with functional transducers, which could at least be used for experimental purposes, and is therefore the inventor of the magnetic sound recording technique. 1888 September 8 saw the publication in the United States of three papers of great significance in the light of later events: the engineer Herman Hollerith's first two patents relating to punch cards for analyzing censuses and similar data [1], and a 2400-word article "Some Possible Forms of Phonograph"[2] by the mechanical engineer Oberlin Smith (Fig. 1). Hollerith's studies are regarded as the origin of modern data processing, while Smith describes an original method for storing sound signals. His article appeared in The Electrical World , which at that time was "the world's most widely read technical journal"[3]. In principle, the mechanical storage of speech - or, in more general terms, of sound signals - and its transmission by wire were known in 1888: 1) In 1875 Alexander Graham Bell applied for a patent for his telephone, symbolizing communication over any distance without the inevitable restrictions imposed by the telegraph.
