about

aeolian centurion | one hundred years ago;
78rpm shellac instrumental 1920 recordings | Sep 2 (full moon)

Don't be afraid of the noise, the hiss, the clicks and pops of old shellac records, because:
''Life has surface noise'' (quote attributed to BBC DJ John Peel)

What was music like a hundred years ago?
Genres labelled as: Fox-trot, Waltz, Hawaiian, Dance, Jazz, Orchestra, are ones treasured through shellac recordings in 78rpm from the year 1920, with some incidental whistling!

All are instrumental but there is a unique of that era immigrant perception american song called ''The Argentines, the Portuguese, and the Greeks'' that is included along with the lyrics as the first of two bonus tracks (the second is an instrumental again, a Greek one!).

released September 2, 2020

Click removal, normalization and some EQ mastering applied to each track carefully in order to preserve the hundred year old production and the passing of time.

These media files are in the public domain as their first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1926, and if not then due to lack of notice or renewal. 1tracktape does not treat this audio material as its own. Based on recording dates and sources from centennial gramophone records, it presents this material that belongs to its creators. All additional work done is dedicated to the public domain.

Compilation producer: Dimitris Tsironis / Δημήτρης Τσιρώνης (aka melophobia / μελωφοβία).

This is way out. To my ears these orchestras play folk in a way My Blue Valentine warped rock music in another strange dimension. BTW: There's no track 9 "Girl, Tell Me at Once" included. Belette Malade
