How this sound effect came to stand for "Japan"
Index | UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive
Library of the First Recordings of Music Ever Made, Courtesy of the University of California-Santa Barbara
“Before MP3s, CDs, cassettes and vinyl records, people listened to … cylinders. First made of tinfoil, then wax and plastic, cylinder recordings, commonly the size and shape of a soda can, were the first commercially produced sound recordings in the decades around the turn of the 20th century.
The UCSB Library, with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Grammy Foundation, and donors, has created a digital collection of more than 10,000 cylinder recordings held by the UCSB Library. To bring these recordings to a wider audience, the Library makes them available to download or stream online for free.
This searchable database features all types of recordings made from the late 1800s to early 1900s, including popular songs, vaudeville acts, classical and operatic music, comedic monologues, ethnic and foreign recordings, speeches and readings.”

Going through it is strangely addicting.
My side reblog account. If you know what my main account is shhh no you don't.
Sometimes I reblog art cause the art looks cool but I'll know nothing about the characters or fandom the art is about and therefore none of the potential discourse or context.
Look I'm not gonna try and tell you what age you have to be to view this blog, but there's a lot of swearing and occasionally suggestive stuff, and since these are all reblogs I'm really bad at tagging, so beware. This is your official and only warning. If you like this stuff then enjoy.
Tag System
(this system is mainly for me so I can find the things I want again. I also kindastopped using this system s long time ago but I'mleaving it cause it could prove useful)
#self care : anything to help with self-care such as stretches, exercise, mental health, food intake, ect.
#resources : anything that has a long list/master list or important information.
#saved to draw : saved for something I'm interested in maybe drawing
#funny : this is self-explanatory

#great colors : a drawing that has cool and dynamic colors I want to look back on again for art studies
#sound library / #audio library : same thing but I kept forgetting which I used so now I used both. For audio I want to save for animations
#music library : different than #songs, music I want to save for animations
(All of these tags will be tagged on here for easy click access since I don't know how to link tags)
I've shared this before but thought people might be interested in some of these ambient noises
