For those who think of coming to Berlin some day, or those in Berlin who are interested in the Berlin Phonogramm Archive, I will link to the liner notes Ben send me.
It is a lot of text, but it could as well be the description of your next holiday destination...I mean ..places to see and visit in Berlin...


The Berlin Phonogramm-Archive was founded in September 1900 and soon became an important center of Comparative Musicology. To celebrate this important anniversary an international conference titled "100 Years Berlin Phonogramm-Archive: Retrospective, Perspective and Interdisciplinary Approaches of the Sound Archives of the World" was held from September 27--October 1, 2000, at the Enthnologisches Museum (formerly known as the Völkerkundemuseum) in Berlin, Germany. More than 60 papers were presented by archivists and ethnomusicologists from over 30 countries. UCLA was represented by Daniel Neuman, Anthony Seeger, and Louise Spear.
