In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  Peter Goldmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Goldmark (1906 – 1977) was a Hungarian-born, American engineer who, during his time with Columbia Records, was instrumental in developing the long-playing (LP) microgroove 33-1/3 rpm vinyl phonograph discs which defined home audio for two generations.
Goldmark's LP records were introduced by Goddard Lieberson (April 5, 1911 – May 29, 1977), who later became president of Columbia Records from 1956 – 71 and 1973 – 75.
In addition to developing the technology for the 33-1/3/RPM record, Goldmark claimed to have developed competitive technology for color television and videotape early in his career at Columbia, but he received limited support for this research from the company.

An enthusiastic amateur musician, Goldmark did not own a record player; he was irritated by the clicking and thumping of a record changer while listening to music at a friend's house in 1945.
Goldmark and his team had fooled around with the idea of a microgroove plastic record, but distracted with television they were not getting anywhere, so Paley took the project away from Goldmark's lab and gave it to Columbia Records.
Goldmark was happy to take the credit; he retired in 1972 holding more than 160 patents.

Peter Goldmark is seen here making a close inspection of the microgroove of a long-playing record.
His invention of the LP in the 1940s had a profound impact on the music industry, and on the ability of listeners to experience music they would never have the opportunity to hear in live performance.
Goldmark went on to become one of the seminal figures in the development of colour television.

 BW Online | August 25, 2004 | Peter Goldmark: CBS's In-House Genius
Goldmark and the team he built at the CBS Research Center, which Paley required to be self-funded by landing outside clients, eventually repaid Paley's shaky faith in them tenfold.
Goldmark was born in Hungary on Dec. 2, 1906, to a family steeped in music and art.
When Goldmark died in car accident in Westchester County, N.Y., on Dec. 7, 1977, he was still working on new projects, including a two-way video-security system for the town of Stamford, Conn. "Goldmark did all sorts of things in the audio and visual fields that were way ahead of their time," says McMann.

For Peter Goldmark, one could almost make the argument that the possibilities of media were imprinted on his DNA.
But it didn't happen instantly; Goldmark's CV is like a public servant's ten commandments of social concerns addressed, be it as head of the Rockefeller foundation or of the Port Authority in New York.
Goldmark ended on a summation of the New Paradigm's challenges: capital; drugs; arms; the dissemination of information and entertainment; pollution and toxic waste; all quandaries that no other time in history has experienced, and that will confront civilization's ability to assimilate such rapid and forceful change.
