Noise Pop: The 78 Project

Sunday, February 22, 2015, 2:00 pm, $12

The 78 Project PosterThe 78 Project is on a journey across America to make one-of-a-kind 78rpm records with musicians in their hometowns using a 1930s Presto direct-to-disc recorder – with one microphone and just one blank disc in one 3-minute take. Along the way, a kaleidoscope of technologists, historians and craftsmen from every facet of field recording – Grammy-winning producers, 78 collectors, curators from the Library of Congress and Smithsonian – provide insights and history. In Tennessee, Mississippi, California, Louisiana, the folk singers, punk rockers, Gospel and Cajun singers in the film share their lives through intimate performances, and find in that adventure a new connection to our cultural legacy. Featuring musical performances by Victoria Williams, John Doe, John Reilly & Tom Brousseau, Sea of Bees, the Easy Leaves, Little Wings and more! Directed by Alex Steyermark. 2014. Digital. 80 minutes.
