A collaborative project with sound artist Aleksander Kolkowski to create a website and web-based record player as a part of the Science and Media Museum’s Sonic Futures exhibition. Sound postcards were popular in the early 1900s and consisted of a postcard accompanied by a small phonograph (or gramophone) record. The website documents the history of this novel recording technology along with the making of some recently commissioned examples and includes a web-based record player for playing them.
Visit the Sound Postcards website to see (and listen to!) the new postcards.

This results in a frequency controlled three-dimensional sound diffusion system, where synthetically… read more
