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.
Wax cylinder molding, and recording in San Juan Puerto
Rico. Edison Phonograph Works cast wax blanks on location, over 80, and recorded Spanish, and Native American
