Theoretically it is framed by Aleida Assmann’s concepts of storage memory and functional memory.Firstly, a show presenting historical concert recordings of classical music, the ‘P2 Gold Concert’, is analysed to show how radio presenters emphasize liveness to eliminate the historicity of the recording. However, such evocation of liveness is only possible because of the recorded nature of the archive material. Secondly, a show presenting archived interviews, reports, features, etc. of jazz music and musicians, ‘From the Archive’, is analysed with particular regard to how a virtual soundscape or mise-en-scéne of ‘old’ technology is created to perform an imaginary archive and how the archive is fetishized. Again, this presentation and the values it holds is only possible because of the recorded, mediatized nature of the archive material.Thus, in both shows the presenter uses fictionalizing strategies of performance to present the archive material, and these strategies in fact highlight the disjunctures and connections between storage memory and functional memory.
