Centuries Of Sound - mixes / audio collages for every year of recorded sound, 1860 to the present day.

If it's of interest to anyone (unlikely, but possible) I wrote a Twitter thread as I made this mix to show how it was done -

PROGRESS THREAD OF THE 1939 MIX

As promised, here is a daily update on how 1939 is going. A year ago I spent a month listening to recordings from 1939, now I have a three neat-ish folders. pic.twitter.com/5NfQxxTjp0

this looks amazing

Thanks dm, I hope it is.

Haven't updated this for a while (have been away) - anyway

HD stereo recordings from Stokowski layered over recordings from the war, Woody Guthrie, last great year of swing

War becomes pop culture, John Cage, Casablanca, much more of a sound collage than previous mixes.

...I won't post tracklistings, these things are each around four hours of audio.

Tremendous!

Thanks TH, these are becoming exponentially difficult to produce, though I have made a rod for my own back with downloading so many hours of old radio. Hoping something comes along that will let me devote more time to them, but nothing on the horizon.

The 1942-44 Petrillo/musicians strike is such an overlooked event in the history of pop music. I still can’t believe it actually happened. It killed the big bands!

Wasn’t overlooked by the late Phil Schaap.

i cannot wait to listen to these, thanks as always!

by the way, i've been listening to your 1950 mix (yet again) because it's that year in a biography i'm reading. makes for wonderful reading music

(although i'm sure most radio stations were too square to play some of the more raunchy material? maybe i'm wrong on that?)

I haven't got to 1950 yet, KM, are you thinking of Michael Daddino's "The Bomb At The Heart Of The Century"?

have you see this, CaAL? feels somewhat adjacent to your interests..

https://citiesandmemory.com/2022/05/open-call-your-field-recordings-of-obsolete-sounds-wanted/

I did see that, yeah, and have been doing a lot of field recording these days, still can't think of anything that would fit though!

I made this field recording / ambient / noise / found sound LP at the start of the year, if anyone's into that stuff.

https://centuriesofsound.bandcamp.com/album/the-westering

I haven't got to 1950 yet, KM, are you thinking of Michael Daddino's "The Bomb At The Heart Of The Century"?

for fuck's sake, yes, and that is not the first time i've done this. i'm sorry. i'm not used to having multiple people's names i recognize tackling old school annual music mixes!

at any rate, i'm digging into 1940 now

So it's been a long time in gestation, but here finally is 1943!

The AFM strike + low vinyl production due to the war means that there is very little recorded music from the USA in 1943, so I have made a soundscape of music (mainly V-discs / movie soundtracks / non-US-releases / etc.) and movie clips, radio broadcasts, etc. which I'm putting out in twelve more digestible bits.

So here is part one, including blog - https://centuriesofsound.com/2022/08/23/1943-part-1-introduction-january/ - this section includes Lena Horne, Charlie Parker, Mildred Bailey, Efisio Melis, Oscar Aleman, Xavier Cugat, Charlie Barnet, Django Reinhardt Et Le Quintette Du Hot Club De France and "Shadow Of A Doubt"

I've been putting this mix up in chunks.

Anyway, here is the whole thing, streamable.

As noted before, this is an odd one as the record business was essentially shut down for the duration of the year.

I can't wait :)

Thank you CAL!

Thanks TH (not sure if this is in regard to the mix above or the Halloween mixes I just put out)

Lol all of it!

Progress has been slow this year, but I've put out three compilations this Christmas - first two were out previously, last one is brand new.

Christmas 1902-1924: Deep Magic From Before The Dawn Of Time

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Deep-Magic-cover.jpg?w=400

Christmas 1939-1945: A Wartime Christmas

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Cover.jpg?w=400

Love these, CaAL, thank you for your service

On my podcast app, the earliest file I can access is 1942 (May 13, 2022). Did you switch audio formats then, or is there some kind of hosting limitation, or…?

There has been a problem between WordPress and Google Podcasts somewhere, think it is basically fixed, but the apps will probably take a few days to re-scan the old feeds.

Anyway, new one out today, this is for the first half of 1944. Have decided to start splitting the things up to preserve my sanity.
Full tracklist under the link - scroll down for the mixcloud player, the podcast download is a shorter preview version

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/1944-Part-1-Icon.jpg

https://centuriesofsound.com/2023/01/10/1944-part-one/

New one out today, but featuring very little in the way of music. I edited down all the original recordings I could find of D-Day (around 60 hours) into this 80-minute soundscape. Put the whole thing up as a download as copyright issues are less of a concern this time, but it's also up at Mixcloud, etc.

https://centuriesofsound.com/2023/02/06/d-day-tuesday-6th-june-1944/

thank you for keeping us posted. i know i'm not the only one here who adores your mixes. keep it up and sorry i don't comment on them as often as i'd like to.

New one out today for patrons and it's brilliant!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/1944-part-three-79707269

Thank you!

It's out for everyone else too -

https://centuriesofsound.com/2023/03/07/1944-part-three/

(look for the Mixcloud player if you want the whole thing)

SO anyway here it is

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/1944-Part-3-Icon.gif

https://centuriesofsound.com/2023/03/07/1944-part-three

Features a good deal of original radio recordings, as discussed upthread I had WAY too many for 1944 and that's why everything has taken so long.

Aside from radio, film clips, speeches, etc, you can hear:

Louis Jordan, Boyd Raeburn, Dinah Washington, Wally Bastiansz, J.J. Johnson, Illinois Jacquet, Jack Mcvea, Nat King Cole, Les Paul, Johnny Miller, Lee Young, Stan Kenton, Phil Harris, Arsenio Rodríguez, Woody Guthrie, Tino Rossi, Sergei Provokiev, Duke Ellington, Mary Lou Williams, Lead Belly, Lucky Millinder, Wynonie Harris, Cecil Gant, Coleman Hawkins, Tampa Red, Charles Wolcott, Nestor Amaral, Bing Crosby, Walter Houston, Artie Shaw, Spike Jones, Julia Lee, The Andrews Sisters, Rev Utah Smith, Harry James, Josh White, Ernest Tubb, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Edmond Hall, Carmen Miranda, Ink Spots, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Meade Lux Lewis, Zohrabai Ambalewali, Sons Of The Pioneers, Wee Bea Booze, Kansas City Five, Cootie Williams, Orquesta Casino De La Playa, Glenn Miller, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Ángel D'Agostino and Ángel Vargas.

I love all of this and one reason why is the absence these mixes evoke - absence of the audience that was listening at the time, when this stuff was floating through the air, part of the mix of popular culture. You can imagine its contours, its reactions, its absent-mindedness, but the audio only partially helps you do that, the rest is a void, unknown apart from whatever knowledge you have to bear about 1944 (probably very little). But the audio remains, as vivid and true to itself as it was back then - probably truer, because of the incredible fidelity of today's equipment. Like touching the side of a cathedral.

Centuries of Sound is great! I’m sure that mix is amazing but I’m currently at 1917 (how have I never heard the incredible “Livery Stable Blues” before?) and I want to go in chronological order, not gonna skip any years. I’ll get to 1944 eventually. All in good time. I also love the Centuries of Sound radio podcast on Cambridge 105 radio. Great stuff!

Thanks both - yes TH, I do think about the lives of people at this time, have been researching my grandparents' wartime experiences for my other project and wonder what the world sounded like to them - this is why I have a doodlebug at the start of 1944 part 1. I do also wonder about how much restoration work I should do, it's a complicated question because if the quality is better than would have been experienced at the time then that doesn't feel right. I've used some of the worse quality radio recordings to add tuning-in effects, but this kind of pseudo-authenticity just reminds me that everything is constructed, and everything is a decision I've made rather than an untouched artefact.

Mr Snrub, yes Livery Stable Blues is a great record, it is a shame that the novelty jazz of 1917-1922 is so completely disregarded, though I can well understand the reasons.

New mix up, 1945 Part One

https://centuriesofsound.com/2023/04/10/1945-part-one/ - mixcloud player has the whole mix, dl is just the first hour.

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Raising_a_flag_over_the_Reichstag.jpg

The second world war has been a bit of a cursed time for this project, there is just too much history and not enough music going on, so let's view this one as a last grand flourish for the era, the mix is at least 50% speech radio recordings of various sorts, covering the first 4.5 months of 1945, a time when a lot of history went down. This is not what I had planned for the project, but I'm happy with how it turned out, and even happier that the next phase (and the foreseeable future) is music-centred. Though of course the war is not quite finished yet, so next time will be bebop, jump blues and Hiroshima.

1945 Part Two is up!

Sorry for the self-indulgence but this might be the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Wonderful collection of music from 1947.
for anyone needing respite from all the horror.

I just played a couple of months then my speaker ran out of juice, so waiting to charge it, as laptop speaker so anaemic. He's not well, very weak, and it's hard to find stuff to cheer him up... he loves it, and me too. So many wonderful people we never heard of....

— MsAlfieB 🇵🇸 #StopThe Genocide#BDS#ItWasAScam (@duduschka) April 20, 2024

omg is that who I think it is

Yes she is, and yes he is!

Amazing

hooooooly moly!

Shit, is that Alfie Benge?!

Amazing in itself, but to think a simple 'he' could signify so much more!

holy crap, that's amazing. can someone please send more stuff like that to cheer bob up?!?!

New episode up! 1948 Part One

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/1948-Part-One-Podcast-mp3-image.jpg?w=600

https://www.mixcloud.com/centuries_of_sound/1948-part-one-something-big-out-of-something-little/

For 1948 instead of splitting things chronologically I've made two very different styles of mix. This first one is about tape recording and television, it has a jerky, cut-up edit style and includes more of the experimental and novelty music, as well as the year's news clips and juxtaposed samples from TV commercials, etc. So I can put a tracklist, though it is very far from complete.

2:24:14 Dizzy Gillespie and His Orchestra - Oop-Pap-A-Da
2:29:41 Spike Jones & His City Slickers - None But The Lonely Heart (A Soaperetta)

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/EnuvAeRWEAEeluW.jpg

Three hours of sounds from 1948. Where part one was jagged and cut up, this one is smoothly layered and immersive, with music from Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Jordan and obviously a lot more than that, including a full section of rock & roll and a section built around Hamlet and Macbeth. But no news! That went in part one.

cannot wait to get into this

New one out - 1949 Part Two

https://i0.wp.com/centuriesofsound.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/2CJE630-scaled-1.jpg

This one is more relaxed and thoughtful than the hotter part one, the theme is the introduction of the 12" Vinyl LP.

Full links, blog post, etc., all here: https://centuriesofsound.com/2024/12/06/1949-part-two-the-12-mix/

love the throwback art

It's based on variant of this, by some counts the first LP ever issued.

right although as i'm sure you probably know, the artwork was basically uniform across the "masterworks" series from that era -- they were once ubiquitous in used record stores and thrift shops here in USA

I have to confess I didn't really know that! but it works even better that way so happy to hear it.

yeah, they would just change the text and the color!

https://i.imgur.com/zwmVJLy.png

Now I'm thinking I should have gone for the green. It's a very late 40s graphic style, reminds me of the credits for a film but can't remember which one.

1950 Part One, naturally this is heavily based on The Bomb In The Heart of The Century.

https://centuriesofsound.com/2025/03/31/1950-part-one/

The mixcloud player is the one that works now - the podcast player is just a placeholder.

looking forward to this one. sorry i didn't say something early, site has been fucked

🚨1950 Part 2🚨

Still based around The Bomb at The Heart of the Century, but spinning things out a bit more in the second half. think this might be the widest variation I've had in a mix. mixcloud player / blog / tracklist all under the link:

2:58:36 Clearlake - Winterlight

wowowow!!

I finally subscribed to this (I had played a couple of mixes before but it was hard to do on the go then) and I’m already obsessed, this is incredible work. Going from the beginning but also listening to the 2000 mix which is exactly the balm I needed

thank you wins! really appreciated. this is the most personal one I've ever done, and really happy with it

Especially chuffed to see Flaming Stars and Clearlake (who no one knows).

The first Clearlake LP was an obsession in 2001, it summed up so well my aimless burnt-out-on-drugs life at that point. I found out Winterlight was released as a single in 2000, so could justify putting it in here on that basis.

Just finished 2000 part two, among the voices you can hear in the first ten minutes I have Ben Kingsley, Busta Rhymes, Daphne & Celeste, Doug Stanhope, Kurt Cobain, Greg Gilbert of Delays, Joe Flaherty, Jon Marsh of The Beloved, Liam Gallagher, Lionel Richie, Mark Gatiss, Ray Winstone, Simon Jones, Wayne and Shuster and Vivian Stanshall, and quite a few more, yes several of those are already dead in the year 2000.

🚨 NEW!🚨

Free to stream, another three-hour exploration of the sounds of the year 2000, this time focussed on sampling, mashup and DJ culture as well as the US election. This is a good one!
