When he opened his shoebox size recording studio in New York in 1940, Moses Asch had a larger-than-life-size dream: to document and record all the sounds of his day. He created Folkways Records and Service Corporation to achieve his goal, not so much a record label as a statement that all sounds are equal and every voice deserves to be heard. The Folkways catalog grew to include a myriad of voices, from world music to political speeches; the voices of contemporary poets and tree frogs; folk singers Lead Belly and Woody Guthrie and jazz pianists Mary Lou Williams and James P. Johnson; Haitian Voodon singers and Javanese court musicians; deep-sea sounds and sounds from the outer ring of the earth’s atmosphere. Until his death in 1986, Asch – with the help of collaborators ranging from the eccentric visionary Harry Smith to academic musicologists – created over 2200 LPs, a soundscape of the contemporary world that remains unequalled in breadth and scope. Folkways became a part of the Smithsonian Institution’s collection shortly after Asch’s death. Today Smithsonian Folkways continues to pioneer the “worlds of sounds” Moe Asch first dreamed of 60 years ago. Asch’s vision was expansive and all-inclusive, and World of Sounds carries forward that spirit in a rich array of visuals and lively and quirky sidebars.\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCopyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections\u003c/p\u003e"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eBased on the new illustrated history of Folkways Records, Worlds of Sound: The Story of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings (HarperCollins, 2008) and the forthcoming Smithsonian Channel documentary of the same name, this talk and video presentation presents the history of Moses Asch\u0026rsquo;s landmark independent record label.
