Press rewind on a century of the 大象传媒 with an epic eight-hour soundscape: seismic events, cultural landmarks, unforgettable voices and 大象传媒 history intertwined with classical music.

With the 1960s comes pioneering electronic experimentation, with Stockhausen, Carlos and Derbyshire forging bold new musical pathways. As Beatlemania takes hold, composers Berio, Britten and Riley develop similarly new musical languages. We hear newsreel from the shocking assassinations of John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King and, as the space race heats up, the USA has a shot at the Moon.
