Description

This online repository contains data, visualisations, impulse responses (WAV), and sound files (WAV) related to various gramophones built between 1901 and 1933 as well as to a reenactment of a 1911 Fritz Kreisler performance of his "Love's Sorrow". The associated research project took place between 2019 and 2022 at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Stuttgart. Its findings will be published as:

Vollmer, Frithjof; Bolles, Boris-Alexander: "In Search of the ‘Phonograph Effect’: Sonic gestures in violin performance and their modification by early recording and playback devices (1901–1933)"
