At the turn of the 20th century, Eldridge Reeves Johnson helped bring the gift of music from the concert hall to the household parlour with his innovations in sound recording technology and marketing strategy. Explore the origins of today's billion-dollar music industry, from Edison's invention of the Phonograph through the evolution of radio, through story of the rise and fall of Johnson's Victor Talking Machine Company.

"His Master's Voice" includes interviews with leading scholars and relatives of the great inventors of the Gramophone and the Talking Machine, rare archival sound and images from the world's premier archives, and reenactments that bring this fascinating era of innovation and artistry to life.

Produced by EMMY Award-winning Teleduction, Inc.,"His Master's Voice" was filmed at various international locations from June 2001 to July 2003. The crew filmed some of the finest remaining examples of antique Talking Machines, advertisements, records and other artifacts at the EMI Recorded Music Archive in London, the Johnson Victrola Museum in Dover Delaware, and in private collections in Los Angeles, CA.

Scholars and advisers representing the University of Cambridge, Brooklyn College, the University of North Carolina, the Library of Congress, the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, EMI, RCA, and authors of the premier literature on the subject matter help create a film that is both entertaining and educational.

Listen to the recordings that took the world's imagination by storm! See the machines that brought music to life, that defied all expectations and led an artistic and technological revolution! See rare photographs of the inventors who brought music to the masses, and the entertainment empires they built with their discovery and dedication!
