"oralhistory" by Jimmy Ghaphery — CC BY-SA 4.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), via musicoi.comoralhistory is based on spaces between conversation.
What is important in any conversation is what is not said. No one listens. Time travel. Privilege of just listening to the space around these speakers. Recording artifacts (pops, crackles of physical media, digital glitches), the observer effect. The source oral histories themselves are amazing (do check them out) so perhaps missing the forest for the trees.
I searched for interesting sound sources from oral histories at the U.S. Library of Congress.
