Un enregistrement de la chanson Au clair de la lune réalisé en 1860, soit dix-sept ans avant
l'invention du phonographe par Thomas Edison, vient d'être reconstitué par des chercheurs américains
du Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Edouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, un typographe français,
est à l'origine de cette première "bande-son" de dix secondes, imprimée sur une feuille de papier noircie
par la fumée d'une lampe à huile, grâce à un appareil qu'il avait baptisé le phonautographe.The 10-second recording of a singer crooning the folk song "Au Clair de la Lune"
was discovered earlier this month in an archive in Paris by a group of American audio historians.
It was made, the researchers say, on April 9, 1860, on a phonautograph, a machine designed to record
sounds visually, not to play them back. But the phonautograph recording, or phonautogram, was made playable —
converted from squiggles on paper to sound —
by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif.

  • I remember when i was singing that song back in 1860! Im so glad that i found it here 148 years later! Thank you YouTube :D

  • Isn't it so interesting that someone sang into that device nearly a century and half ago and didn't even know it was something that could be listened to? And now here we're able to hear this thing they didn't even know they were recording. I don't know why, but I find that thought so interesting.
