Detritus at the Onassis Stegi | Robert Millis

Robert Millis’s “Indian Talking Machine” is a book (+ double CD) about the scratched world of India, about vinyl, grooves, dust, memory. Αs Millis argues, “Obscure companies, destroyed master copies, experimentation with regional markets, fragile objects, and catch-all recording policies all lead to rare titles and endless potential for discovery and research.”
Millis will discuss “Indian Talking Machine”, his work as a sound artist and researcher, and his experiences with musicians, sounds, and collectors in India and elsewhere. Rare 78rpm discs, field recordings, video and more will be featured.
