What was on before streaming music, MP3, CD, compact cassette, and vinyl record? This exciting question is the motif of the exhibition “Placed well!” and shows the beginning of the automatic music reproduction. Characterized by the era when various music machines had been founded, and the persons in succeeding to invent them, different music storage media lead as a thread through the centuries.
Paul Ehrlich, founder of the cardboard disc with holes, Thomas A. Edison, originator of the wax drum, as well as Emil Berliner, developper of the record, millions of people with their revolutionary invention made the access to automatic music possible.
Today, in 21st century, Nickelodeons, organs, phonographs, self-playing pianos, and grammophones with their storage media offer information about technical possibilities, the music, and the design back then.
And even today they allow people being true astonished.
