Hill & Dale

Description

Our name refers to one of the earliest methods of audio recording. A stylus would cut a vertical groove of varying depths into a wax cylinder phonograph record, known as the "hill and dale” process. With the emergence of the first home musical appliances of the early 20th century —like the Victor Victrola, the Berliner gramophone, and Edison's Phonograph— it became possible, for the first time, to hear music in your own home —and dance to it. We draw our inspiration from this rich chapter in history.
