In today's over-digitized-auto-tuned-world, the expansive sound of analog is not only becoming a lost practice, but a forgotten commodity. In short, analog (recorded) music is captured at a higher density - with an infinite amount of sound resolution. Digital music on the other hand, is (often) capped at a particular resolution - rendering it captured with limited density.
It is safe to say that the "true" analog sound died with the vinyl record. This is a sad reality for Paul Maywhinney - owner of the world's largest (personal) vinyl collection. In The Archive, director Sean Dunne reveals not only what such a collection looks like, but what a collection of this magnitude represents - both to the music industry and to Maywhinny himself.
Discover what happens when a musical connoisseur is forced to sell his beloved collection in this brilliant and simple short featured at Sundance 2009 (7min).
