  • Bass is very good. The film seems hardly synchronized -if it even belongs with the sound track. Sometimes the needle scratch tells me if it's a Berliner disk record or a wax cylinder (the latter always seem to have a scuff down one edge that makes a shff-shff-shff-shff sound, and I can almost see the cylinder spinning).

  • panhon ni rizal...

  • This music was actually recorded in 1889? That's amazing...the quality is so good, it sounds like it could have been recorded 100 years later!

  • is this authentic? you clearly hear a flute/piccalo, and a snare drum but you don't see them in the film.

  • very very late answer but, it says the film is from 1894 and the music 1889.

  • Sync sound wasn't seen in films until around 1927

  • I was replying to someone else who wondered why they don't see one of the instrument in the film, that the music was recorded much earlier, but this said, you are wrong, Sync sound happened way earlier. They were quite a few sync sound films shown at the Exposition in Paris in 1900. But it was too complicated a technology (linking a gramophon with film) to be widely used. Sync sound evolved through many such experiments.

  • Actually, the sync-sound films you speak of, were not truly synchronized. The technology was too difficult - like you say - to be relied upon for public exhibition.

    The first known attempt at sync-sound was Dickson's Experimental Sound Film. This was in late 1984 or early 1985. Hard to believe it was that long ago really.

  • I find that the Dickson's film is not well synchronized. The movement of the player and music don't go along well (hence why I don't really consider it). But if you look at Cyrano De Bergerac from 1900 by Clément Maurice, the effect is rather good. In fact, Dickson abandoned Sync while Gaumont (the main producer of early sync) never abandoned, and some of the people working for him would pave the way the technology.

  • Thank you for the info. I shall look it up.

  • i think i want a tornado scene and they are with urkel but i made the story up

    But it IS some AWESOME footage, considering how old it is! 1894-1889.

    I just wish I had a recording of my grandfather conducting Pershing's personal band during WWI.
