George’s commentary on the experience
Did you have any experience of using mechanical recording technologies before?
I had no experience of using any mechanical technologies before.
How did you like the experience of recording on a phonograph?
It was fascinating because I instantly ditched the ‘sensitive’ aspects of the piece in favour of simple audibility.
Did you need to change certain aspects of your playing/singing?
Same as 2.
Did this experience influence the way you will listen to phonograph recordings in the future?
Yes, I’ll listen differently!
