more about this historic account of recording events

History of any kind is an event-oriented continuous, systematic narrative of past events that relate to a specific subject. This narrative is usually written as a chronological account or sequence of related events. This historic account is no different.

Even though most of the developments in the history of recording have taken place in the relatively short period since Edison invented the phonograph, this is a topic of great scope and depth; there's much ground to cover. Many other recording media were invented prior to Edison, including fundamental and vital ones such as still and motion picture photography.

An event-by-event, step-by-step account organized in table format makes it practical to present the highlights of this account in a concise manner. Visitors wishing to explore the topic in the form of a narrative and at greater length should consult the ETAF Recommends section of this feature.

The scope of the account of mankind's efforts to record and play back includes:

  • All arts, with emphasis on the arts sponsored by Electricka's and the ancient muses.
  • Every type of activity.
  • Manual or automatic means.
  • Applied and pure science.
  • All technologies.
  • All media.
  • All periods.
  • Past, present, and projected future events.

There is one exception to the scope of events in this account: to be on this list, the transpired events must relatehowever directly or indirectlyto the nexus between recording, playback, and the arts.

Since all of the arts are involved, Table contents are a joint responsibility of Electricka and all her cohorts.

Entries have been contributed by Electricka's visitors and ETAF Staff. If an event has been submitted by a visitor to Electricka's web site, credit for the submission of the event is cited for that contributor.
