David Edmund Turin (born 8 September 1965), known as Emit Bloch, is an American songwriter and musician.
Emit Bloch is a songwriter, musician and journalist referenced for field recordings and lo-fi music production. His parents are George L. Turin, a professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, and Helen Elizabeth Turin, the daughter of a Utah cattle rancher. Bloch was raised in Berkeley, California, as well as Layton, Utah, and is related to Christopher Layton, a prominent 19th Century Mormon pioneer.
Bloch has issued several notable collections, with his 2010 release Dictaphones Vol. 1 garnering 5/5 stars in UNCUT, the magazine calling Bloch an "exceptional songwriter" and the release "utterly remarkable", as well as frequent radio play on BBC stations when it was issued on One Little Independent records. London's The Sun called the record "...fresh, vital, uncluttered and brilliant" and awarded it 4.5/5 stars.
The subsequent digital EP, "Dorothy," included some studio versions of songs on Dictaphones Vol. 1 and received UK-wide acclaim when it was selected by The London Times as "Hot Download of the Week" and its eponymous single was championed by Dermot O'Leary, Gideon Coe and several other mainstream BBC DJs.
In 2000, Bloch wrote and recorded the occult Milla Jovovich, The People Tree Sessions , for his internet imprint Peopletree, an early example of internet marketing. The largely field recorded release was chosen as the "Pop CD of the Week" and given 4/5 stars by the newspaper The Guardian , which stated that the record was "so barking, it's great". [1]
In the late 1990s, Bloch co-founded the experimental jamming band Banyan with drummer Stephen Perkins, bassist Mike Watt, keyboardist Money Mark and guitarist Nels Cline and co-produced Banyan, the band's first release for Higher Octave with Perkins and The Dust Brothers. Bloch met Perkins when working with Perry Farrell to develop Teeth, an early, internet-based music and film project funded by Lollapalooza.
After a long hiatus, Bloch released Collectives Vol.2, a follow-up to Dictaphones Vol. 1, which saw a stylistic departure from lo-fi recording and embraced a "stoner rock" sound filled out by appearances from rock heavy-weight Perkins, and guitarist Nick McCabe (The Verve, Black Submarine).
On Nov. 15, 2022, Bloch issued 'Emit Bloch: Rock,' a third album-length collection of songs recorded with a band and also featuring performances by McCabe as well as longtime collaborator David Peters, and his daughter, Grace InSpace (drums). The album was released on Bloch's TFFTT imprint, located in Del Norte County, California. In 2022, TFFTT also released a collection of B-Sides, 'Canteen', and an Xmas song, 'I Misspelled Santa 'Satan''.
Phonograph cylinders are the earliest commercial medium for recording and reproducing sound. Commonly known simply as "records" in their heyday, a name which has been passed on to their disc-shaped successor, these hollow cylindrical objects have an audio recording engraved on the outside surface which can be reproduced when they are played on a mechanical cylinder phonograph. The first cylinders were wrapped with tin foil but the improved version made of wax was created a decade later, after which they were commercialized. In the 1910s, the competing disc record system triumphed in the marketplace to become the dominant commercial audio medium.

Sergei Prokofiev set to work on his Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor, Op. 16, in 1912 and completed it the next year. However, that version of the concerto is lost; the score was destroyed in a fire following the Russian Revolution. Prokofiev reconstructed the work in 1923, two years after finishing his Piano Concerto No. 3, and declared it to be "so completely rewritten that it might almost be considered [Piano Concerto] No. 4." Indeed, its orchestration has features that clearly postdate the 1921 concerto. Performing as soloist, Prokofiev premiered this "No. 2" in Paris on 8 May 1924 with Serge Koussevitzky conducting. It is dedicated to the memory of Maximilian Schmidthof, a friend of Prokofiev's at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory, who had committed suicide in April 1913 after having written a farewell letter to Prokofiev.
