The 78 Project released on January 28th, 2014, the Volume 1 Soundtrack album to the acclaimed web series that chronicles recordings made using a 1930′s vintage Presto direct-to-acetate disc recorder similar to the one Alan Lomax used for his field recordings made between 1933 and 1942.
The impressive artist roster includes Richard Thompson, Loudon Wainright III, Roseanne Cash, Marshall Crenshaw and many others, all of whom starting September of 2011 recorded “direct to disc” in locations all around New York City, including hotel rooms, private residences, public spaces and even one alleyway.
Artists chose public domain songs that for them were meaningful along with the location. For the artists it was a chance to experience what it was like to record in those early days and to also experience what it might have been like to have had Alan Lomax record them.

About the experience, Richard Thompson said, “”Man. That’s amazing. It’s everything I was saying about emotional. It’s a whole other thing.”
