Abstract

A matrix number is an alphanumeric code that is inscribed into the run-out area of commercially recorded gramophone discs. In this article, I argue that orienting our scholarly listening around matrix numbers—what I call “matrix listening”—can help us reframe our engagement with historical sound recordings as primary sources and thereby lend valuable insights into any number of scholarly questions. It can also help us revisit the issue of materiality in recorded sound specifically and music in general, approaching sound recordings not only as container technologies for “music” as a purified domain but as complexly agentive material things.

矩阵听;或者，我们可以从历史录音中学到什么以及如何学习

矩阵数是一种字母数字代码，它被刻在商用留声机光盘的跳动区。在这篇文章中，我认为围绕矩阵数字引导我们的学术倾听——我称之为“矩阵倾听”——可以帮助我们重新构建我们对历史录音作为主要来源的参与，从而为任何数量的学术问题提供有价值的见解。它还可以帮助我们重新审视录制声音和音乐中的物质性问题，不仅将录音视为“音乐”的容器技术，而且将其视为复杂的代理物质。
