- Never Records 97Two weeks ago I sent a message 150 years into the future. I made a vinyl record time capsule, comprised 17 hand cut records containing tone pictures of our time from 2017-2019 encased in a wooden box made by my cousin Michael from a slab of Silver Maple..I placed the box between aluminum studs in the yet to be built walls of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s new Rudin Family Gallery, an exhibition space attached to the Harvey Theater in downtown Brooklyn.Upon completion of the gallery a plaque will be hung inside the lobby of the theater that reads, “This vinyl record time capsule, titled Persistent Echoes uses tone pictures to capture and frame a moment in our lives that we all share, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Through conscientiously selected and recorded sounds, with selected sounds from the artist’s life and the BAM Hamm archives, Riederer believes he can telegraph a crystallization of this moment to future generations. Placed in the Rudin Family Gallery’s wall, Persistent Echoes becomes a time capsule for a century and beyond. "30 min
About Never Records Podcasts
From the publisher's feed
Never Records is a combination recording studio and record shop, setting up in locales throughout the world. The sole proprietor, interior decorator, and engineer is New York-based artist Ted Riederer. Inspired by his own redemptive education at a young age inside the walls of a local record store in Rockville, Maryland as well as the field recording projects of Alan Lomax, Riederer devised his unique community art installation in the early part of this century and has been replicating it with regional variations throughout the world since 2010.
Performers from a locale sign up for recording sessions ahead of time, with no auditions necessary. Riederer usually offers three hour sessions, during which he mixes on the fly and cuts vinyl right in front of the artist’s eyes once both are satisfied with a particular take. The recordings are free to the artist, the sessions are open to the public, and you can’t buy anything you see. Ted hasn’t lowered prices by cutting out the middleman. He is the middleman. He is not a vertical operation; he is an elliptical one, a constant feedback loop supplying its own demand. Still, everyone takes something home, even if it’s the barest speck of record shop camaraderie inadvertently inhaled.
