- Abstract:
- This article strives to examine the historical narrative of music recording in its acoustic era (from 1877 to the late 1920s), at a time when competing technologies for capturing and registering sound and music were being incorporated into everyday life. Moreover, it examines the overlap of continuous and discontinuous media and processes of recording, setting the stage for a historiographical account that places the interaction between these media at the focal point of a wider narrative of modernity.
