All over the world, over the last 70 years, radio and concert hall archives have accumulated thousands of recordings on analogue tapes, among which invaluable treasures have gradually fallen into oblivion.
In order to save this endangered musical heritage and bring these unsuspected nuggets to light, The Lost Recordings has started a race against time and has chosen to publish them, in particular, on the best vinyls that it is possible to manufacture today, in order to make these moments unforgettable.
Thanks to a network of true sound archaeologists, concert memorabilia and archives, The Lost Recordings identifies these musical gems around the world. To reveal every detail of these exceptional recordings, The Lost Recordings is developing a restoration process that is unique in the world - Phœnix Mastering™.
Phoenix Diagnosis
Once the original tape is found, the diagnosis aims to evaluate the quality of the recording, its possible defects, and the damage suffered by the precious original media.
Phoenix Rescue
Following the diagnosis, the original tapes are warmed up if necessary before being played back on our own tape recorder, where we align the playback heads, curves and output levels according to each soundtrack.
Phoenix Revival
The Lost Recordings has developed its own processing algorithms for each type of noise. To handle these powerful technologies, an expert ear is essential to release the full dynamic range, and reveal every detail and all the original colors of these priceless recordings.
