tonearm: a listening series

𝕥𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕞 is a free, monthly listening gathering at Oracle Egg. Each session features a carefully curated selection of physical media, played in full as intended by the artist. We listen together—without phones, without chatter, and without the pressure to consume quickly.

In a culture shaped by streaming slop and endless access, these gatherings foregrounds human touch and curation. Records are chosen by people, physically handled, and offered up with vulnerability and care. Listening as an active practice and shared with others. 𝕥𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕒𝕣𝕞 invites you to experience recorded music as something physical, deliberate, and human.

This first iteration will be curated by Melissa Achten, Oracle Egg co-founder and Executive Director. Melissa has been collecting vinyl ever since she worked at a record store in college and is particularly drawn to recordings of late Renaissance chant, folk harp, 50s doo-wop, and spoken word from the 20th century.
