About The 78 Project
The 78 Project is a documentary and recording journey inspired by Alan Lomax and his quest to capture music where it lived throughout the early 20th century. Our project brings the spirit of his work into the present as we pair breakthrough musicians with the songs and the fascinating recording technology of the past. With just one microphone, one authentic 1930?s PRESTO direct-to-disc recorder, and one blank lacquer disk, musicians are given the opportunity to make a recording anywhere they choose. What we have found is that the film, music and feelings that result defy space and time, living music inspired by ghosts.
About this unique acetateThis is a new 78 rpm acetate recorded live in one take on a 1940 Presto Direct-to-Disc recorder. It was cut using a microgroove stylus, which means it can be played on any modern turntable that plays at 78 speed. Think yours doesn't? It might! Just try pressing down 45 and 33 at the same time. Sometimes that makes the turntable play at 78 speed!
This acetate was recorded as part of an ongoing documentary project to capture modern musicians on the recording technology of the past. You can also hear digitized audio versions of both sides of the acetate by clicking the links below.
