Playing around with 360 degree sound recordings after the successful Bloomsbury launch of BIRMAC's Dispatches from the Air series on sound recording technologies & transmission last Monday. Big thanks to our guest speakers Neil Wilson (RadioMuseum, Watchet) & Emily Best, Birkbeck.
A collage of images from the Dispatches event - Neil Wilson giving his talk about the Midget disc recorder; some buns on the snack table; a slide with a quote from Rabelais' Gargantua & Pantagruel with sound words like trr, trr, taack, bou, bou; a fluffy mic on a binaural recording device; and in the centre some wax cylinders, an Edison gramophone and a Midget disc recorder prototype, just visible in the background.
