#soundstudies #eduardsievers #formalism The age of sound recording, which is around 150 years old, is the golden age of voice ghosts. Our videos, our telephones, are voice activated recorders, preserve for us the voices of the dead – something you realize more as you move into the age where people around you die. In my family, we have pictures of my Mom, but no recording of her voice – a huge loss to us, I think. https://limitedinc.blogspot.com/2022/12/eduard-sievers-coulda-been-contender.html
