In the early 20th century phonographic technology traveled into many living rooms, cafes and even courtyards making what had been repertoires of closed communities available across linguistic and religious divides.
Joel Bresler has been collecting 78s from the Ottoman Empire's Sephardi communities for forty years. Together with Musicologist Dr. Vanessa Paloma Elbaz and Linguist Prof. Ioanna Sitaridou, this event will trace the networks of recording and technology together with linguistic information and shifts, and the politics of voice and listening in the late Ottoman empire. Core to the event will be listening to previously unavailable recordings from Bresler's collection.
