The idea that folk music, it’s history, development and many forms being the result of circular patterns that enable us to move forward whilst regularly returning to a source point, found it’s social distillation in the ‘Polyphon’ machine. Mass-produced between 1880 and 1914, it’s success owed much to the many traditional dance tunes that were ‘concentrically’ arranged for mass public consumption via 19 and 5/8th” steel discs that today, represent the assimilation of British folk music into popular culture via a process that also served to consolidate it’s regional styles. The concept of ‘single source media’ also raises important questions for participating young people at a time when many professionals feel their work has been devalued by the degree to which art is freely available and duplicated. A coin operated mechanical musical device with fixed a repertoire provides insight into the early development of today’s mass-consumption of music. The extraordinary sound created via symbiosis between musical creativity and master engineering, is a vital chapter in the development British popular music and though superseded by the gramophon, the polyphon remains the secret author of our folk dance cannon.
