Weil es irgendwer ja machen muss, sammelt Obsolete Sounds ausgestorbene und verschwindende Klänge und will so die weltweit größte Sammlung dafür werden, die jene Sounds ins heute zu bringen versucht. Herrlich nostalgisches Klickmaterial.
Obsolete Sounds is the biggest ever collection of the obsolete and disappearing sounds of the world, covering everything from dusty VHS cassettes, vintage video games and old mobile phones to melting glacier ice and endangered traditional songcraft.
The interactive online exhibition features more than 150 obsolete and endangered sounds and can be explored in full at Obsolete Sounds.
The project documents not just the much-missed sounds that evoke memories from the past, but also highlights some that we’re in danger of losing. It aims to draw attention to the world’s disappearing soundscapes, and what we can do to preserve and save socially and culturally important sounds for future generations.
