The Archive
Derrick T
While digitizing tapes for a well known Detroit based audio archive, archivist Derrick Thiecke finds something he can't explain — an unlisted track on a reel marked "Master Duplicate", filed alongside Stevie Wonder, The Doobie Brothers, and The Carpenters. No name. No documentation. No match in any database. The Archive is the real-time investigation into who this artist is, and where this recording came from. Exploring what gets preserved, what gets lost, and whose stories end up on the wrong side of that line.
