These days recorded music is everywhere. Streaming over our phones, our computers, our MP3 players, Pandora, Soundcloud, YouTube, satellite radio – it seems to be coming out of the very air we breathe. There are even “retro” forms in revival, like vinyl and cassettes.
It’s hard to imagine the days when, if you wanted to hear music, you had to make it yourself or know somebody else who did. From then there were several steps – and some interesting detours – to the recording and distribution technology we have today.
Back in
1877 (patents in 1878), Thomas Edison used two needles on tinfoil
cylinders. One needle was for recording and the other for playback. This was
the creation of the phonograph. The first words he recorded were “Mary had a
little lamb”.
