Description

Discover the remarkable history of Moses Asch and his mission to document the global landscape of sound. In 1949, immigrant recording engineer Moses Asch started Folkways Records with a singular vision: to build a massive archive of human sound. This book tells the story of how he built a business against all odds to create a landmark in American music history. Through his small record label, Asch amassed an incredible collection that includes over 2,200 LPs and thousands of hours of tapes. The cultural impact of his work is evident in the fact that his massive archive was eventually purchased by the Smithsonian Institute. This account provides a deep look into the life of a man who dedicated himself to preserving the sounds of mankind through his work at Folkways Records.
