THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY MUSIC BROADCASTING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE AUDIO RECORDING MEDIA EVOLUTION (UNTIL 1970s)

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the stages of development of music broadcasting and to reveal their features in the context of the evolution of audio recording means. The methodology consists of the application of general scientific and special methods, namely: information and system approaches, terminological and historical methods, as well as methods of analysis and generalization of source information, comparison and interrelation of theory and practice. Scientific novelty. The significance of musical resources has been brought to the development of radio communications and the early stages of development of musical radio communications have been clarified in the context of the evolution by means of audio recording. Conclusions. Radio has played one of the leading roles in the field of music and, conversely, without music, radio broadcasting has not received the appropriate technical development and, accordingly, would not have had such an impact on society. Clusters of music radio recordings on the rights of subsystems are connected to the metasystem of information communications. Music publishers, who were then the most influential part of the industry, allied with the musicians. At the time of birth, radio notes were the main musical product, and songwriters were real stars. However, when the whole world began to buy records instead of music, the power from publishers and singers passed to record companies and cooperated with them performers. In the early stages of its existence, musical radio broadcasting underwent an evolutionary path from the musical telegraph (1876), the first radio shows with magnetic recording (1914), the rapid development of radio engineering and recording technology (1920–1940), and 3-minute rock ‘n’ roll from artisanal records (1950s) to «pirate music», which was broadcast from ships (1960s). The study of the historical and cultural preconditions for the formation and development of musical radio broadcasting at an early stage in the context of the evolution of audio recording allowed to identify three main stages: «search» (1870–1920), 2) «competitive» (early 1920s – second half of the 1940s). .), 3) «vinyl-tape» (first half of the 1950s – 1970s). The term «music broadcasting» is proposed to mean technological means of sound transmission to an unlimited number of listeners of musical compositions and / or other musical information on the radio, as well as wired radio networks or packet-switched networks, classifying them as «active phonograms». , broadcast) and «passive phonograms» (performed a functional role and transferred to the archive).
