Sound mosaics for a broken world

The museum of failure


Listen Later

'The museum of failure' is a term that has been used to describe the accumulation of old vinyl records in charity shops. Strangely, wherever you are in the world, these abandoned records seem to be the same ones. This phenomenon raises questions about the cultural value of physical media, whether vinyl, cassettes or CDs. Further questions relate to the environmental impact of the dissemination of music, either as physical media or via the internet. Answers to these questions are explored through a visit to the museum of failure.
