Sometimes it’s not what we’re listening to - it’s the way we listen to it.
This piece of work explores whether all of our senses need to be engaged, from the touch, sight and smell of vinyl or whether the instant accessibility of a digital download is preferable. Here you can experience the best of those formats we know and love.
Do you remember placing the needle on your first record? 
Perhaps you were born into the era of cassettes and recall the excitement of being able to fast forward, pause and rewind music for the first time. 
Are you a child from the early digital age and purchased your first album on CD with the ability to skip tracks?
Or maybe the first music you experienced was a digital download?

The way in which we access music is almost as important as what we’re listening to, but why? And how has it changed over the past half a century?
Everyone has an opinion and reasons for having their favourite formats – this is a collection of those views, opinions and experiences.
Step up, take the headphones and experience that evolution for yourself.
