“Wavy Lines of Sound”
MIT Technology Review MA
Harrison then director of applied physics at MIT surveyed the state of the art in audio recording and playback in the November 1938 issue of Technology Review he was full of wonder at the progress achieved in the 60 years since Edison had introduced the phonograph. Although cheap and durable vinyl had yet to replace shellac as the recording industry’s medium of choice and all-electric record players had only recently superseded acoustic ones Harrison confidently assured his readers that they were on the cusp of a new “high-fidelity” era. Grown long accustomed to the scratchy futility of the mechanical phonograph the world is only slowly realizing the possibilities of more perfect sound reproduction. The electric phonograph and the talking motion picture as we know them are far from perfect in their re-creation of sound but this limitation now arises from the high cost of the apparatus needed to achieve perfect results. Perfectly faithful reproducing devices should eventually be available as commonly as imperfect ones are today. This development was nothing short of a scientific miracle Harrison proclaimed. He went on to describe in loving detail the industrial process by which records were mass-produced:The sight of hundreds of steam-heated presses stamping out phonograph records is likely to give rise to that exaltation which is occasionally felt on viewing one of man’s accomplishments in fashioning nature to his ends.

‘ It was like a science project initially until I heard it was really good. I’m in the process of finishing it right now. It started out as a solo project but it’s grown into a band with Adonis (Shropshire) a producer in Atlanta who’s an incredible talent. We’ve been making a lot of records and I think we’re winding down. I think it’ll be great. In fact there is a song that you can get right now that I have on my Myspace page [myspace.
A new breed of tech-savvy DJs is giving the local scene a fresh spin
Boston Globe United States
But the three Boston DJs providing the music that night were anything but traditional. ne of them DJ Die Young was spinning and flipping switches but his eyes were focused most intently on one thing: his laptop screen.
