Working with undergraduate colleague Sarah Freeman, I explored the pluritemporal nature of recordings through the creation of 360\u00b0 videos featuring a 1960s-era reel-to-reel tape player. Throughout the 1970s-80s, literary events in and around the University of Alberta were recorded on reel-to-reel tapes. These tapes are currently being digitized and shared by UofA\u2019s SpokenWeb team. As part of the SpokenWeb project, Sarah and I visited locations in Edmonton where these recordings were originally made. At these locations, we played the original reel-to-reel tapes on a Sony TC-102 portable reel-to-reel tape player, recreating a sonic moment in time decades later. Embracing the technology of the present, we recorded these moments using an Insta360 X4 camera and a Zoom H3-VR ambisonic mic. The resulting video can be viewed on a VR headset, visually and sonically placing the viewer inside the recorded moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image captures a moment during our recording at the Jubilee Auditorium, showing both the Sony TC-102 player in the background and the dual-mounted Insta360 X4 and Zoom H3-VR in the foreground\u2014the image itself adds another layer of documentation to this multilayered project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
