Our is also a : How To Give Yourself A Stereo Check-Out by Decca Records (1967).

This 12” LP was not only a standard test record of the time, but is also a mini crash course in important audio concepts like wow & flutter, Sound coloration, channel phasing and more.

Dutch painter Nicolaes Maes (1634-1693) was a student of Rembrandt, who worked in Amsterdam and Dordrecht. One of his signature motifs is the eavesdropper, seen here in The Eavesdropping Man (1655) & The Listening Wife (1656).

Marking 365 days since the Russian invasion of Ukraine by re-visiting the second object ever donated to our Physical Objects Collection: a 1988 Ukrainian AM/FM radio donated by Dr Kate Yonova-Doing, which was handed over to our care by her husband Karel on 16 Dec 2015. We express solidarity with the Ukrainian people and hope a peaceful resolution ends this horrific war soon.

Our 2022 Book We Stuck the Most Post-Its Inside was, hands down, Sounds Wild and Broken by David George Haskell. This marvel of a book reinvigorated the work we’re doing on the revised 4th Edition of the museum’s Gallery Guide & provided many new perspectives on sounds & listening. Can’t recommend it enough.

New humpback whale "songs" tend to originate in an incubation area off the eastern coast of Australia, then spread eastward across the Pacific – evidence of cultural transmission.
