Memorabilia. Collecting Sounds with…

Lecture series

“A collector of records is by definition a historian, but a radio listener has a window open to the present.” Jon Leidecker, Audio Notebook #03: Radio Music
Memorabilia. Collecting Sounds with… is a new series from Ràdio Web MACBA that seeks to break through to unearth and reveal private collections of music and sound memorabilia. The documentary series is being presented this spring in a prospective conference/listening format, and four collectors have been invited to share the interests and particular characteristics that have driven them to build their personal collections. It is a historiography of sound collecting that reveals the unseen and passionate work of the amateur collector while reconstructing multiple parallel histories such as the evolution of recording formats, archiving issues, the collecting market and the evolution of musical styles beyond the marketplace.

Curator: Anna Ramos. With the collaboration of: Raül G. Pratginestós and Roc Jiménez de Cisneros.
