I 1877 opfandt amerikaneren Thomas Edison fonografen – verdens første kommercielle apparat til optagelse og reproduktion af lyd. Men hvordan foregik det egentlig, når musik og stemmer blev optaget på voksruller helt uden brug af elektricitet? Hvordan var lydkvaliteten af optagelserne? Og hvilke forestillinger omgærdede oplevelsen af lydens reproduktion. I denne talk kan du opleve en optagelse på voksruller live – præcis som den blev udført i de tidlige fonografstudier.
Se og hør, hvordan lyd fysisk ridses ind på voksrullen og derefter afspilles med det samme på en original Edison-fonograf – helt uden brug af elektricitet.
Kom med internationale eksperter ind i fonografens verden
Melissa van Drie og Aleksander Kolkowski giver et indblik i fonografens historie og dens mange anvendelser i og uden for underholdningsbranchen. De viser blandt andet, hvordan fonografen i dag har fundet nye anvendelser blandt kunstnere, arkivarer og forskere, der er fascineret af dens magi.

A rare chance to witness an authentic, historical sound recording.

In 1877, the American inventor Thomas Edison created the phonograph – the world’s first commercial device for recording and reproducing sound. But how did it actually work when music and voices were recorded on wax cylinders without the use of electricity? What did the recordings sound like? And what ideas surrounded the experience of reproduced sound?
In this talk, you can experience a live wax cylinder recording – exactly as it was performed in the early phonograph studios. Watch and listen as sound is physically inscribed into the wax and then played back immediately on an original Edison phonograph – all without electricity.
Step into the world of the phonograph with international experts
Melissa van Drie and Aleksander Kolkowski will offer insight into the history of the phonograph and its many uses within and beyond the entertainment industry. They will also demonstrate how contemporary artists, archivists, and researchers are rediscovering the phonograph as a tool of fascination and creativity.
