Jens NotroffRemember the sound of an old slide projector? A chewing gum machine? A coffee mill?
#ConserveTheSound puts together a virtual audio #museum of (almost) lost everyday #sound:
Miss_C@jens2go this is awesome, I could lose hours to this!
Rob McIntosh@jens2go my wife and I watched '45 Years' (great film) the other day, and the opening credits have the sound of a slide projector advancing (with a black screen). We said exactly that ...
"I wonder how many others (i.e. younger than us) would know what that sound was?"
🇺🇦 KrakelOrakel 🌈 RIP Natenom@jens2go A (hand) coffee mill: yes, because I use it on a daily basis so that even I cannot forget till next time 😂
Joeydeziks
David Hull 胡大衛Oooo... I like the slide projectors and the typewriters.
Walter Scott Prizes@jens2go This is marvellous

Wintergatan - Starmachine2000
Get the audio track "Starmachine2000" by Wintergatan:https://wintergatan.bandcamp.com/album/wintergatanwww.wintergatan.netWelcome to the World Of Wintergatan...
T.BorstTriumph Adler, Modell "Gabriele" 🙂 ..
Erich Z@jens2go searches for Polaroid Camera, is satisfied.
Gazy@jens2go so cool
Andy F@jens2go I love this idea, but won't they shut the whole thing down when people are reminded of the sound of a 90's modem connecting to the internet? 😱😂
Bryan Wright@jens2go
There's a #JoniMitchell song that uses the sound of a cigarette machine:
Smokin' (Empty, Try Another)
eL_ABC
Grant Buote@jens2go awesome idea
Morten Bay@jens2go This is amazing, but also reminds me of this great TikTok series: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRqFaj1q/
Cher Tailor@jens2go that's rad! I love foley work! Or whatever it's called. x)
Allan Chow@jens2go but think about the NEW sounds we have like... like...
Ilya אש Ash
David W. Jones@jens2go Fascinating! Now to think: What sounds am I listening to today that will become extinct, and when?
William Vambenepe1990: My new Walkman is awesome, the motor is so quiet that you can't hear it.
2022: I could spend hours listening to the sound of a walkman motor at https://www.conservethesound.de/sound/walkman-sony-wm-32.html

Kathy Baxter@jens2go So many satisfying sounds in there but I couldn't find a dial-up modem. Perhaps it is because it is not a physical object?
@faktoider@jens2go By golly. What a magnificient treasure trove of a site!
Venkatesh Murthy@jens2go
Wonderful! I wish for more similar efforts to preserve heritage smells also - here's one example I know of:

MeganColby@jens2go I love this!!
acm@jens2go That is a supercool idea!!
MikeDragoESPN@jens2go super-cool
Betty Potter
Philip N Cohen@jens2go this is amazing, a treasure
Jeff Noxon@jens2go I love this!
annie.tibeau@jens2go This is so cool! The slide projector and Polaroid camera got me.
ChookMother 🇦🇺🦘They left off the "ding" of the typewriter when you got near the end of the line, and the sound of the carriage returning.
@anne_twain It's there though, e.g. in the 1960s Monpti recording as well as a couple of the other typewriters:

nancyr@jens2go Wow. I love this.
UnseenAcademical
Alaric@UnseenAcademical @jens2go there’s a cool native instruments tool called kinetic metal that lets you do that.. https://youtu.be/uw8Xumali4w
Kinetic Metal - Moving Ethereal Textures | Native Instruments
stoicmike@jens2go the Carousel made a kakachunk sound as you advanced the slides
Félicia M.@jens2go Such a poetic project! Thanks for sharing.
Shield Maiden@jens2go And the sound of different manual typewriters and the tone of the 'ding' at the end of a row...

MJ Muse@jens2go when I was a child the sound of a little brass wind up alarm clock, the kind with the two bells on top of it, ticking away, always comforted me at night
schaefernoske@jens2go Not only the sounds are lost, but also the distinctive shapes of objects. Everything becomes a uniform rectangular cube. Here is my drawing:
Potato Enthusiast 🇵🇸@jens2go awww no results for "286". The sound of my childhood.
Tor Kingdon@jens2go I do not remember chewing gum machines, but I'm intrigued. Love this project.
EDIT: Oh, chewing gum *vending* machine. I was imagining a machine that chewed gum. #morecoffee
@jens2go I used to love the sounds of the thud of stamps echoing in libraries.
consulessa@jens2go I love this! What a wonderful idea.
Cat West@jens2go Dial tone. No one today under the age of 40, knows what that is
@jens2go Here are a few others in the same vein:

Katenockles@jens2go this is most excellent!! thank you for sharing 😃
Brian Dear@jens2go Hoping the sounds of internal combustion engines are forever lost soon.
Cary@jens2go
That's cool but what I need is a Smellovision mimeograph recording.

AccordionBruce@jens2go nobody show this to @hexagon5un wynk wynk
hexagon5un@GeneralShaw @jens2go Too late! I actually saw it and thought of using it in the Podcast.
I even mentioned it to Tom when we were recording, but the show went soooo long and was so full of good stuff this week, that it didn't make the final cut.
The eye sees all! :)
Pete Prodoehl 🍕@jens2go I was using slide projectors for Maker Faire just a few years ago. :) Love the sound they make!
Slideshow: People You Don't Know
In an age of photos shared everywhere online all the time, "Slideshow: People You Don't Know" looks back half a century to a time when photos were a bit more special and rare. See vacations, parties, and social events the way they were meant to be.
Steampunk_Prof@jens2go
Historians love the ordinary. We have so much about King's, Dukes, Bishops etc but so very little about the lives of the average person and what they thought or believed. One of the most interesting things I remember was a diary by a Herefordshire farmers wife, even then she was still relatively well off.

@Steampunk_Prof The same is certainly true for archaeology beyond "palaces", "warrior elites", and "princely burials".
noelle@Steampunk_Prof @jens2go I totally agree. I prefer museums and exhibitions that show everyday life of peasants and ‘ordinary’ people in rural, small town or (poor) city neighbourhoods many times over any castle, palace, mansion, church and its former dwellers.
@jens2go An old fashioned kettle whistling. Dialling into a modem for internet connection. Chalk screeching on a blackboard. A videotape being swallowed or spat out by a VCR. The clicks of a cassette recorder.
