Listen "Playing the Archive: The Viral and the Archival (#5)"
Episode Synopsis
Sounds are usually momentary. They're there, and then they're forgotten. Every day, we access new sounds on Tiktok or Youtube and some of them go viral - but who remembers them a month, a year, or a decade later? Archives preserve sounds of the past, but they become hard to access, buried under data protection, privacy, and heritage laws. How will future anthropologists know what 2025 sounded like?In Playing the Archive, ethnomusicologists Sydney Hutchinson and Hannah Judd dive into experimental archival research with interviews, radio plays, & more.
