Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv
Wax Cylinder Recording with the Edison-Phonograph
The philosopher and theoretical psychologist
Carl Stumpf
founded in 1900 the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv to save the music
of the world before it would be eliminated by the global capitalism. Today
this world-wide unique archiv has grown to more than 150.000 recordings
from all cultures of the world. During all the time the archiv equipped explorers
and scientists with the best devices to make possible these musical recordings
during their field studies.
In September of 1900, a Thai music and theater ensemble performed in
Berlin. Carl Stumpf used this opportunity to make one of the first
recordings with the Edison phonograph which just had been invented.
