How Home Recording Began
When did home sound recording first become possible, and what was it originally like? Find out in this whirlwind tour of "family records" captured on wax phonograph cylinder and lacquer-coated aluminum disc, originally prepared for Basement Tapes Day at the virtual Los Angeles Archives Bazaar held on October 17, 2020.

A Very Boring Motion Picture, circa 1850
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 9 lety
Motion picture reconstructed with image morphing software from three daguerreotypes of the Bigelow School in Boston taken circa 1850 by Southworth and Hawes. See griffonagedotcom.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/animating-historical-photographs-with-image-morphing/ for more details.
The Face of Miss America, 1921-2014

See the digitally "averaged" face of Miss America evolve from 1921 through 2014 as a time-lapse animation. More details on how this was done, and more examples of the same technique, may be found on my blog at griffonagedotcom.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/face-averaging-as-a-historical-technique/

Phonogram Images on Paper, 1250-1950

Id love to know the year of those recordings
Audio Paint! I installed it yesterday to find out. How did you make it work that way?
What's even more Facinating is that back then. It would be fairly simple to turn sound into a vibration on say a pen moving on a piece of paper or similar. But they would have no way to imagine it being reversed back to sound.

These are 👍😉👋
12:55 the voice of Alexander gram bell on January 28th, 1875.
Why this doesn't have a million+ views escapes me.
38:35 awesome
Fascinating, thank you sir
best thx
2:49 can someone explain to me what the fall of 1888 is? Is that like a war? because fall is not a season
36:43
A mistake: The text says "693Z" But according to you it says "693Zee"
Thank you for this video!
Never thought I hear synth music from almost a six hundred years ago.
18:56 This is the first recording that I consider as perfectly understandable.
Amazing to hear all this history! I am curious about the earliest recordings of telephone conversations/magnetic wire recordings. I see pictures of (museum piece) Telegraphone wire recorders of the 1900s and 1910s, with the spool of wire on them, but don't know to my knowledge of any of them being played back (aside from Emperor Franz Joseph on a Telegraphone in 1900).
Excellent channel and information 👍
@19:20 you can hear the alphabet being recited but the pitch lowers as it goes, likely the 50 rpm is correct at start but the medium it was recorded on was either cone or bowl shaped causing spatial difference to the data.
I think I have a recording from the late 1940's when my grandparents sent audio letters to Americans they met during the war. I have the American side of the audio swap. - somewhere...
Wow...
As a tracker music fan, 1677 was mindblowing for me lol. Really neat!
16:55 bro sounds like he's screaming into the membrane

Fascinating to learn of those very early experiments in sound recording, especially the examples that pre-date the nineteenth century. It's a good exercise in historical introspection to reflect on the fact that only 140/150 years ago did the technology for effectively capturing sound for the purpose of playback and reproduction come into being. We who live in the mass-media age of the twenty-first century are so often exposed to the amplified, often cacophonous din of recorded music, messages, entertainment, and other forms of audio media in our regular environment that it is hard to ponder that people living only four to five generations before our own would only have heard throughout their lives acoustical waves strong enough to have reached their ears shortly after the moment they were produced by the laws of natural sound propagation. It is no wonder many Victorians thought the first modern audio recorders and playback machines that enabled them to hear "past" sounds were the stuff of magic!
7:00 If Embree added whistling to a band recording, is this the earliest example of overdubbing - recording a new track on top of an existing song? And how did he do this? Would he need two devices - one playing the band recording and the other one capturing both the first phonograph and his whistling?
Silas Leachman supposedly made dubbed cylinder recordings himself in the 1890s where he'd do each part of a quartet. As far as I know he would record over the same grooves again and that's probably what Embree did, recording over the existing grooves as it wouldn't completely wipe out what was already there.
Absolutely wonderful.
12:56 such emotion such strength in that speech i was so emotional 😢
Could this technically be the oldest video?
deym fl studio paper

The pre 1860s music sounds forbidden. Its as if we shouldn’t be allowed to hear something so ancient (but it’s amazing we can)
9:33 do not do this with headphones unless you want to constantly search the house for bugs
How one thing can be so scary and so fascinating at the same time
These could probably be made much clearer using machine learning.
28:23 sounds like it says let the bodies hit the floor
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1677 sounding like an undertale soundtrack
wrecked record= drunk funny folks..lol..thanks for the post.
Nah man, you deserve more views, great job 👍👍👍👍
Can we zoom in to the black cat in the coal cellar ????????
28:22 lol i heard "You make party you will die"
I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that people tried to record sound far earlier. It must have occured to one or another that sound is a wave. Just like the waves of the sea make an imprint on softer materials, waves of sound ought to make some kind of imprint. Why not try to catch that kind of imprint?! That's how I think someone in every generation must have been thinking..!
I recall finding one of these early recording machines at an auction. I would have loved to repair it, but it was beyond my technical ability at the time. I sold it to someone who could fix it.
27:35 is literally the popcorn tune!
1250? 800 YEARS AGO?!?!?
my mind has been [Fourier] transformed!
Now, ten years after this presentation, has any of the recordings not yet heard in 2012 been played?
...as a woodwind player by trade, I REALLY want to hear the Taffanel recording.
Return of the king
1677 music!!!
