Update 1st Sept 2020:  Malvern weekend  
With much regret the October 2020 weekend event has been cancelled, due to the Coronavirus pandemic. 
On-going safety restrictions make it impossible to hold in its usual sociable format.  Everyone who booked has been written to.
We fully intend to run the event again next year, over the first weekend of October 2021; the Abbey Hotel has already been reserved.

Early Recordings: the Impacts of a Transformative Technology
Conference at The Royal College of Music, London UK, on Thursday 23 April 2020.
The aim of this one-day conference is to focus on the wider cultural and social impact
of the technological development and dissemination of early recordings.
​
The investigation of early recordings has been a booming field in recent decades. Since the ground-breaking study of Robert Philip in 1992, the shift of interest in musicology from products to processes has progressively broadened the subject’s scope. Early recordings have been co-opted as new ‘texts’ for a variety of purposes, including studies in reception, sociology, cultural and media theory, and the history of technology (Cook, Clarke, Leech-Wilkinson and Rink, 2004).
