Wie haben unsere Urgroßeltern Musik gehört?
In the organizer's words:
Sounds from funnels and pianos without players - we will show you how this works on a sonic journey through time in the permanent exhibition "From the Edison reel to Blu-Ray" in the German Music Archive.
In the exhibition, you will see the beginnings of sound recording by Thomas Alva Edison and the pioneering further developments by Emil Berliner. It continues with milestones and curiosities of the music industry: sound carriers in all shapes and colors as well as playback devices from the world's smallest gramophone to luxurious wooden furniture. Little by little, the range developed into more compact, digital formats and devices, which came onto the market at ever shorter intervals and often disappeared again just as quickly. We have put together a few highlights for you here.
You can explore our curated acoustic and visual exhibitions at the listening stations.
The tour takes place as part of the 13th Leipzig Days of Industrial Culture (September 8 to 14, 2025).
