Abstract

From 1925 to 1941, approximately one hundred African American clergymen teamed up with leading record labels such as Columbia, Paramount, Victor-RCA to record and sell their sermons on wax. While white clerics of the era, such as Aimee Semple McPherson and Charles Fuller, became religious entrepreneurs and celebrities through their pioneering use of radio, black clergy were largely marginalized from radio. Instead, they relied on other means to get their message out, teaming up with corporate titans of the phonograph industry to package and distribute their old-time gospel messages across the country. Their nationally marketed folk sermons received an enthusiastic welcome by consumers, at times even outselling top billing jazz and blues artists such as Bessie Smith and Ma Rainey.These phonograph preachers significantly shaped the development of black religion during the interwar period, playing a crucial role in establishing the contemporary religious practices of commodification, broadcasting, and celebrity. Yet, the fame and reach of these nationwide media ministries came at a price, as phonograph preachers became subject to the principles of corporate America.In Preaching on Wax, Lerone A. Martin offers the first full-length account of the oft-overlooked religious history of the phonograph industry. He explains why a critical mass of African American ministers teamed up with the major phonograph labels of the day, how and why black consumers eagerly purchased their religious records, and how this phonograph religion significantly contributed to the shaping of modern African American Christianity.

Abstract

With Thomas Edison's invention of the phonograph, the beautiful music that was the preserve of the wealthy became a mass-produced consumer good, cheap enough to be available to all. In 1877 Edison dreamed that one day there would be a talking machine in every home. America on Record: A History of Recorded Sound, first published in 2006, provides a history of sound recording from the first thin sheet of tinfoil that was manipulated into retaining sound to the home recordings of rappers in the 1980s and the high-tech studios of the 1990s. This book examines the important technical developments of acoustic, electric, and digital sound reproduction while outlining the cultural impact of recorded music and movies. This second edition updates the story, describing the digital revolution of sound recording with the rise of computers, Napster, DVD, MP3, and iPod.

Abstract

In der Frühzeit von Phonographie, Reproduktionsklavier, Film und Radio wurden die damals neuen Medien nicht nur untereinander verknüpft, sondern auch mit der traditionellen musikalischen Praxis des Instrumentalspiels kombiniert. Der Band beleuchtet diese heute weitgehend vergessenen, vielfältig ausdifferenzierten Felder musikalischer Medienpraxis. Neben der Frage nach der musik- und medienhistoriographischen Relevanz solch ephemerer musikalischer Mediengemische widmen sich die Beiträge den komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen den neu entstandenen Reproduktions- und Übertragungsmedien, dem naturwissenschaftlichen und ästhetischen Denken der Zeit sowie den ökonomischen Entwicklungen. Darüber hinaus werden medienästhetische Strategien beleuchtet, mit denen die neuen technischen Geräte künstlerisch umgedeutet wurden. Besprochen in: Radio-Kurier, 7 (2016), Marcel Goerke
