http://lostsoundtapes.com/wire-recorder-SAMPLE.mp3 review: LINER NOTES:
These songs were recorded live to a 1940’s Webster Wire Recorder. Wire recorders were originally invented in the late 1800’s and recorded sound to a hair-thin strand of stainless steel wire. This was the predecessor to magnetic tape as a recording medium. The wire is extremely fragile and fickle, and the machine itself adds certain audio elements to the recording; pitch shifts, bleed over from previous recordings on the reused wire, a clanking sound from the cylinders turning, tonal colorings and distortions, etc. These elements very much color and contribute to the recordings. Therefore, this record is considered a “collaboration” between the artists and this antiquated machine.

Side A:
Microphones: I Lost My Wind
(Phil Elverum: Recorded on a farm in Rochester, WA)
Golden Boots: Marie
(Dmitri Manos, Ryan Eggleston, Nathan Sabatino, and James Grip: Recorded in a living room in Olympia, WA)

Side B:
Bishop Allen: Ghost
(Justin Rice and Christian Rudder: Recorded in a venue basement in Seattle, WA)
Paleo: Jessica’s Wedding
(David Andrew Streckany: Recorded in a bedroom in Olympia, WA). more by the artist >
