What It Points To
Section titled “What It Points To”Drawn to capturing sound as it happens — a fiddler in a kitchen, a vendor’s call, a lament before the singer dies. Listens with attention that holds still, then preserves what was heard with care for source, place, and date. Recognizable in the child who tapes grandmother’s stories and the elder whose shelves hold boxes labeled by year and village.
Integration property: The field-recorder pull — Alan Lomax before tape, the sound archivist, the song collector
