i think, aside from the pretentious stuff, the reason i like old recording tech so much is just. it fascinates me how we've managed to record and play back audio over the last century and a half. it's so neat. i need to do more reading into it because im just fascinated by the method, how we inscribed the sound into physical media.
i also adore the first ever audio recording. its hard to understand and the quality isnt good compared to today but back then it was a technological marvel! and then the obvious feeling of "all these people are dead now, yet we listen to their ghost, their echo, their essence. preserved in history." its just. ugh. i love humans and art and technology. sorry to be pretentious on main it WILL happen again.
