Tkachenko collects machines, not music — and what plays is brought by others.
The collection consists solely of equipment. It contains no records at all, and that is deliberate: the collector says that the moment you start collecting discs as well, the machines turn into a way of listening to them.
For the exhibition records were borrowed — from the museum's holdings and from two private owners. Each label names the owner, and none of them belongs to the collection.
