Centuries of Sound is a series of mixes and podcasts presenting a history of recorded sound[1], produced independently by Cambridge-based sound artist[2] James Errington[3][4]. Each mix presents sounds recorded in a single year, and episodes are released monthly, in chronological order.[5] Errington also presents a monthly show of the same name on Cambridge 105 Radio in which he discusses the music of a year with a guest.[6] Centuries of Sound has received acclaim from a number of publications[2][5][7] and received a British Podcast Award in 2019[8].
Background
Errington researched and sourced music from a number of sources, including Archive.org, Rate Your Music and Acclaimed Music[4]. The first mixes include early sound recordings made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in 1860, and the earliest episodes are shorter and cover multiple years, due to a lack of surviving recordings[5]. Each mix contains not just music but layered speech and other sounds.[9] Contemporary "preview" mixes were also posted for the years 2016 to 2019[10] and there are annual Christmas and Halloween episodes covering particular eras.[11]
Coverage and Awards
Notable individual episodes include the 1927 mix, reviewed in The New Yorker[3], the 1901 mix, which was one of Indiewire's 50 best podcast episodes of 2018[12], the 1931 mix, which was podcast of the week in The Financial Times[2], the 1943 mix, reviewed by Cory Doctorow[11], and the 2016 mix, covered in Hyperallergic[4]. Centuries of Sound received a bronze Bullseye Award at the 2019 British Podcast Awards[8].
