What do you hear in these headphones?
In each episode, a sound “from elsewhere” emerges from the CREM archives and wanders through the street, through ethnomusicology departments, and through musicians’ rehearsal studios. Those who encounter it share their comments, their imaginings, their inspirations.
A testimony to the informed or unexpected encounters that ethnomusicological archives can provoke.
