    Structuring social relationships Music-making and group identity Rebecca Naomi Whiteman Corpus Christi College This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2020 1 2 This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my thesis has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. 3 4 Structuring social relationships: Music-making and group identity Rebecca Naomi Whiteman This thesis is about groups and their boundaries: how we bond with some people, but are separated from others who do not belong. It is also about social interaction - the building-blocks of this group identity. In particular, I investigate music’s role in our social landscape. Making music together is a powerful way of establishing and structuring these relationships; I argue that it can bring people together, but can also reinforce the divisions between them. First, I present a new synthesis, drawing on relevant literature about our capacity for sociality, analyses of social interaction, and a history of the research on social groups.

  • Key Dates in Sound and Music Technology
    KEY DATES IN SOUND AND MUSIC TECHNOLOGY 1860 – The first human voice recording made using Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville’s “Phonautograph” (it was not recovered and reconstructed until digital technology made it possible in 2008). 1876 – First use of a telephone to transmit voice (Alexander Graham Bell: “Watson, come here, I need you!”) 1877 – Thomas A. Edison records and plays back “Mary Had a Little Lamb” on the phonograph made from his sketches by John Kruesi. (This recording does not survive, though Edison made later versions). 1885 – Chichester Bell and Charles Tainter patent their “Graphophone,” a notable improvement on Edison’s design which makes mass-produced, constant-pitch cylinder practical. 1887 – Emile Berliner patents a lateral groove recording system; his system will eventually replace Edison’s, as his flat discs will overtake Edison’s cylinders. He will go on to found both the Victor Recording Company (later RCA/HMV) as well as Deutsche Grammaphon. 1888 – Edison's foreign sales agent, Colonel George Gouraud, makes a cylinder recording at the Crystal Palace, London of a 4,000-strong choir performing Handel's Israel in Egypt at a distance of more than 100 yards from the phonograph. This is the earliest surviving recording of music. 1893 – Nikola Tesla demonstrates the principle of sending radio waves from one tuned coil to another, using them to operate a robotic submarine. This was the earliest use of radio as we know it. 1906 – The aptly-named Indestructible Cylinder Company makes the first cylinders out of celluloid, a durable, unbreakable medium. Their patents are eventually acquired by the Columbia Phonograph Company.
