Between the Wars AKA The Jazz Age AKA Centuries of Sound Volume 2

very cool!

I thought so! However reaction has been suspiciously subdued - it is not really a relaxing listen, at all. Or it could just be that people have a lot going on right now I guess. I have just today reluctantly accepted redundancy from my job, trying to combine this project with a couple of other more obviously lucrative things (online courses, private tuition) to get by, it is going to be a bit of a struggle though, to say the least. I made an advert for myself, if anyone wants to easily share the thing.

Sorry, /blog etc., getting on with getting 1931 now, also nursing a sick hamster.

frankly the editing was amazing. it's my opinion that all the mixes should be done like that. found it to be super engaging.

sorry to hear about your job. you now have +1 patreon members, hope that helps :)

Wow, thank you.

Job will work out, hamster is looking better too.

listening through 1930 for a second time. i was pretty immersed in a task during the first listen. it's nice to take the time to consult the track list and jot down my favorite tracks for the purposes of further research!

Well there is a lot crammed into that one! Currently working flat-out to get 1931 finished, it is much more leisurely in its pace, though it has a very strong great depression / classic horror theme which has emerged somehow.

Also should mention maybe that I'm on the radio tonight playing some records from 1922 - https://centuriesofsound.com/2020/12/05/centuries-of-sound-on-cambridge-105-radio-episode-30-1922/

Just finished this one, my last of 2020

Hello anyone who reads my thread!

As a new year's wish, could anyone point me to anywhere I can get hold of this record in any form? (good quality digitized would be best!)

https://www.si.edu/object/siris_arc_232926

there's a UK seller on discogs who has a copy in nice shape (with booklet) for £10

https://www.discogs.com/sell/item/867000445

Thanks, I've bought it! Now to try to get my record player set up to rip audio, can't be too hard, surely?

Hi.

https://centuriesofsound.files.wordpress.com/2021/02/1932-large.jpg

Here is 1932 - - - - - > https://centuriesofsound.com/2021/02/02/1932/ < - - - - -

Didn't post on this thread last month as I was doing a yearly "contemporary" detour to 2019 but don't reckon I'll continue with those, so chronological it is from now on.

This one is (of course) for the year 1932, and as the US record business was in the doldrums at this point, it's a kind of world tour, including a whole 25+ minutes of music from the UK, which is a first (and probably won't be matched until the 60s) and some amazing stuff from the Arab world and India.

So a three-hour audio collage, free to stream, one-hour preview mix available to download.

These take me forever and I'm trying to justify spending my time on them now my company has closed and I've taken redundancy (yeah I know, would be better to dedicate the time to jobhunting) so if you know anyone who may be interested, please do share.

Here is the tracklist, it has already been pointed out to me that James & Martha Carson are not even remotely from 1932, not sure how I missed that, but it will be re-edited at some point to fix that.

Here is 1934, much less in the way of hits and hot jazz and much more in the way of abrasive records from places far away from the USA, I think it's not bad but would not be surprised if casual listeners are less keen.

Hello followers of this thread - I'm supposed to put 1935 out today but it's only 70% done, not going to rush it and make it bad.

In the meantime, I'm asking for suggestions from the late 50s, just any music or sounds recorded between 1945 and 1949, not just obvious pop / jazz / be bop / jump blues but soundtracks, experimental recordings, movie clips, interviews, speeches, poetry, and anything else that works as an audio clip.

You can add suggestions on this google sheet - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SrCI54fjCioSVuyRLLckVlnuNDGalZaB/view?usp=sharing - or email me at james at centuriesofsound dot com, or just leave a comment here.

Here we go then, 1935, my 50th mix and I think maybe the longest so far. Not a sprawling mess, but certainly sprawling at over 200 minutes.
Made this one a nightmare for myself by listening to many hours of original radio, of which I ended up using less than a minute.
Feels good to finally get this out, albeit a week late.

So I guess I am not going to get any prizes for use of the spoiler tag

or rather than dumping hours of sound on you i can listen through and share a few recordings of interest, how's that ?

Forgot to say thanks for these! You will find I think four clips in the mix.

I made a compilation, as it's been a while.

https://centuriesofsound.com/2021/08/02/the-cos-tapes-6-brass-peacocks-1897-1906/

https://centuriesofsound.files.wordpress.com/2021/08/brass-peacocks.jpg

John Philip Sousa’s world was a regimented one, as befitted a military band man, but when he left trombonist Arthur Pryor alone to record some “tinned music” he inadvertently created one of the most extravagant moments in turn-of-the-century music. Soon brass soloists of all varieties were competing to fill two minutes of wax with the most excessive collection of flourishes and sfx they could muster. By the late 1900s they had all apparently calmed down – but for a decade at least the peacocks were producing some of the most exciting music ever recorded.

It's been a bit too long, but I finished a new mix! This one features Benny Goodman's famous 1936 Carnegie Hall concert, Orson Welles' radio broadcast of War of the Worlds, an audio collage of the Munich crisis, and quite a lot more, totaling 220 minutes of sound. Come and have a listen, it's free to stream, preview mix available to download, and I'll be putting out another couple of bits over the next month as bonus podcasts.
