Jul 4 - For the Record - Episode 4

I've mentioned this web series before. It's produced by the Cosmic Shambles Network, and presented by Charlotte Ritchie. 

It promises to tell the history of music. Early reviews have been very positive. 

I'll post links to the episodes here to increase exposure.

Part Four: Build This Love

Using pianos and guitars as a case study we explore the evolution of musical instruments from ancient times to modern electronic devices. We then start to explore how we send music out in the world via the invention of sheet music and eventually recording and distribution systems like records and radios. Finally we make our own gramophone with a pin and a cone.

Part Four includes exclusive interviews, rare archive and performances from Ian Rankin, Mark Miodownik, Sophie Galpin, Robin Ince, Jon Batiste, Steve Pretty, Marina Frolova-Walker, Gabriele Rossi Rognoni, Richard Walley, Beaty Rubens and more.

This series is an entirely independent production made possible by fan support on Patreon and Substack. 

Episode 4 is here:

Episode 5 coming up next 

I will post a review of the series when I've had the chance to watch and also add links to the episodes.
