DESCRIPTION:
Indian Talking Machine is a 244-page book with two CDs. Containing over 300 photographs of Indian 78rpm record collections, collectors, and ephemera. A personal take on the vast worlds of Indian music and the intricacies of collecting sound. Indian Talking Machine is the result of nearly a year in India photographing record collections, interviewing collectors, and visiting archives and record markets: photographs of shelves groaning under the weight of unimaginable titles, beautiful label and sleeve designs from long gone eras, wind up talking machines, crammed antique shops, forgotten artists, and more that somehow survived (often barely survived) the difficult "archival" issues of India.
