The Gramophone Effect: Departing from historical accounts by recording pioneers such as Theobald Noble and Fred Gaisberg – who made the earliest sound recordings in India c. 1902 – The Gramophone Effect is a polyphonic audio essay on possible sound histories. Described by Derrida as the tension arising between the desire for memory and the impossibility to preserve living voices, « the gramophone effect » refers here to the estranging presence of recorded voices, as much as to the transformative potential of the unheard. Developed in collaboration with several Indian artists during a residency in early 2016, the piece contains recorded and synthetic voices, early Indian shellac records, field recordings from the Indian-Bangladeshi border area, sounds from instrument makers and musicians in Bengaluru and Kolkata, as well as improvisations by Aubry and Millis with an acoustic gramophone.
Participants : Gitanjali Dang, Usha Deshpande, Renee Lulam, Farah Mulla, Travelling Archive (Moushumi Bhowmik and Sukanta Majumdar)
