Into the Groove : The Story of Sound From Tin Foil to Vinyl
The Story of Sound - Book - by Jonathan Scott
(2024)
By mixing lo-fi charm into hi-fi science Into the Groove captures all
the wonder and absurdity of its subject, jumping and skipping with real
analogue delight.' - Sunday TimesThe story of recorded sound – the
technological developments, the people that made them happen and the
impact they had on society – from the earliest inventions via the
phonograph to LPs, EPs and the recent resurgence of vinyl. While
Thomas Edison's phonograph, the first device that could both record and
reproduce sound, represented an important turning point in the story of
recorded sound, it was really only the tip of the iceberg, and came
after decades of invention, tinkering and experiment. Into the Groove
tells the story of the birth of recorded sound, from the earliest
serious attempts in the 1850s all the way up to the recent vinyl
resurgence.
This book celebrates the ingenuity, rivalries and
science of the modulated groove. Vinyl collector and music buff
Jonathan Scott dissects a mind-blowing feat that we all take for granted
today – the domestication of sound. He examines the first attempts to
record and reproduce sounds, the origin of the phonograph, and the
development of commercial shellac discs.
Later he moves through
the fascinating story of the LP record, from the rise of electric
recording to the fall of 7-inch vinyl, the competing speed and format
wars, and an epilogue that takes the story up to the present-day return
of vinyl to vogue. Into the Groove is the story of the science of sound –
the technological developments, the humans that made them happen and
the impact they had on society.
