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. first recorded sound * L'historien américain David Giovannoni scrute un des phonautogrammes découverts en France.

0:49: "au claire de la lune, mon ami pierrot" is sort of understandable if you know what she is singing and if you understand a bit french. try listening to a modern version of the song and then try to hear the song starting from 0:49
