Acoustic record relase party.

I assisted in producing a 45 rpm 8 song 10" record. The masters were recorded on Shawn Borri Audio Laboratories blanks, and recorded with an 1890s standard speaker style Edison recording head, mica, copper and paper diaphragms were used. Triumph A and B Phonographs were used to record masters. A cygnet horn was used to pick up the cylinders from the model B triumph, using a rebuilt model C reproducer, a KM series Neumann microphone was used, going into an LA-1 compressor (that Gene Autry was fond of using.), and original Pultec EQP 1-A to reel to reel at 15ips on 10 ½" reels. The analog reels were sent to a record pressing plant to be cut on laquers, and master records made. There was 500 blood ink vinyl, 100 black vinyl, and 50 transparent red records pressed. The vinyl records have no digitization at all in any process. There is also 300 special edition CD (this of course was digital) but the majority from brown wax cylinder masters including a special recording by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge. The label art is by Jack A, Thomas Negovan, Tentacles by Jeremy A. Bastian, and Malleus Rock Art lab. Photographic work by Greg Martin using and 1850s lens and manifested with colloidal silver, tree sap, cyanide and lavender. This record is on the Olympian label.

For those who live in California perhaps you can attend that performance. I am not able to go there because of work.

looks like the finished product is another vulcan made cylinder.

Well they do not break and are the only moulded cylinder out there right now. (All new hard moulded cylinders out there are made by the Duncan Miller Process.) I really only focus on phonogram blanks and doing an occasional recording here and there.
