Abstract

Since the earliest years of its invention, the telephone has been designed and used not only as a means of peer-to-peer communication but also in the form of circular telephony [one-to-many] as a means of information, entertainment, and education aimed at an audience listener. This article provides an overview of some forms of circular telephony that encouraged the practice of live remote transmission of sound focused performances such classical music concerts, opera, and theatre that served as a reference for one of the stages of my research project.
