INVENTIONS THAT CHANGED MUSIC CREATION FOREVER

Phonograph

Invented in 1877, the phonograph brought music into the living rooms of people across the world. Live music was only for the elite before that.

The phonograph was the first device that was able to reproduce recorded sound, even encouraging the rise in popularity of genres like jazz and blues.

Electric Guitar

Where would we be without the electric guitar? How many of your favourite songs include an electric guitar? Created in 1941 by Les Paul, this instrument changed the musical landscape forever. The electric guitar also ushered in the nastiest and most rebellious genre of popular music, rock n' roll.

Multitrack Recording
