The Wire Episode 2: The Change of the Sound
From: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation
Series: The Wire
Length: 52:55
Electricity refined the way sounds were captured in time - adding a new dimension of fidelity to the acoustic phonograph. The invention of magnetic recording tape represented a quantum leap forward in audio technology. For the first time, thanks to tape, sound could be manipulated. What had been the representation of a singular moment in time became a malleable moment in space. It was the change of the sound.
