Edison Recording studio is dedicated to education, pertaining to the history of acoustic sound recording.
We provide a hands on approach to learning. We not only record cylinders, but build the acoustic recorders we use, make
our own wax cylinder masters. Our lectures comprise of live wax cylinder recording, a slide show of historical photographs,
which provide a detailed look at the early recording studios, artists, and manufacturing techniques, as well as the legal
battles of the early days of sound recording. We also demonstrate how sound recording has changed from Tinfoil-Digital.
On October 21st we provided a very informative, and delightful presentation at Millikin University in Decatur, Illinois.
We provided a slide show, playing of historical sound recordings, and wax cylinder recording session. Many thank
to DR. Mark Rubel, and the music recording staff of Milikin for providing us this opportunity.
We recorded Mr. Catfish, featuring vocal, with Dobro guitar, it was really fun! Modern Jam
rock band "The Infinity Room", comprised of 18 and 19 year old students playing Bass guitar, Lead guitar, drums, and Thurman
style key board. The full rock band came though well, the acoustic process recorded everything, from the bass drum and
bass guitar, to the high hats! The vocals you could swear were recorded electrically, but they were not! We discussed
the founding By-law Compact of The North American Phonograph Co., and even had a TV interview for the local station.
