- Au Clair de la Lune - By the Light of the Moon (April 20, 1860)
Scott recorded “Au Clair de la Lune” at least three times. This version, preserved today among the papers of the physicist Henri Victor Regnault in the library of the Institut de France, dates from April 20, 1860. The performance is just as sluggish as the one from April 9, but it is considerably better-recorded, probably reflecting advances in the preparation of recording membranes. Scott notes that the membrane was in its “natural” position, meaning at an angle like the human eardrum, and that his signal chain also included an “oval window,” apparently referring to a second membrane. This time, the rotation of the cylinder didn’t slow down to a near-stop between “Pierrot” and “prete,” as it had on April 9-after all, Scott knew by now how much of the song he could fit on a sheet. - Věda a technologie
On the one hand, this sounds like nightmare fuel out-of-context. On the other, and in context, every song by every musician you've ever loved owes itself to this muffled, warbly mess, and that's nothing short of awe-inspiring. Human art and science leapt forward, hand in hand, the day this was scratched into paper, and if there's an afterlife, Monsieur de Martinville can rightfully feel more than just a bit smug for his contribution to world culture.
It's like a ghost of a woman who seeks revenge and whenever she comes this music plays lool
Actually, Mssr de Martinville’s discovery was not publicized and died with him in 1879. It wasn’t until Edison started to popularize the phonograph after 1877- without knowledge of de Martinville’s prior efforts, regrettably- that recorded sound became known. It is Edison that musicians owe a debt to.
I can get living without tv but imagine living without music
In an amazing trip to the past the voice of an unknown human being reborn for the eternity. Respect to mister Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville with his magic machine that prints sounds.
Instablaster...
Not an unknown voice. The first playback used a speed that resulted in a contralto voice. But, then they looked at the label, which identified a known baritone singer. They slowed the playback down, and got this.
Fun fact: Edourd never knew this could be used to actually record and playback voice. His phonoautograph was only used to study sound waves and acoustics, and we there was never a way to play this back until someone figured it out in 2008 with digitalization.
WRONG...the realization and implementation was done a couple of hundred years prior to 2008
@@LockDownOnSpartabro ltrly saying wrong in all caps to ppl tf
@@LockDownOnSpartaimagine being so confident in calling somebody wrong when they're 100% right. This recording was made by scratching lines in a layer of soot on a piece of paper. Unlike Edison's tin foil, there was absolutely no way to play this back. They only managed to do so in 2008 by digitally scanning the recordings and then developing a special algorithm to convert them into sound.
@@LockDownOnSpartaWRONG
The first sound recorded was a lullaby.
A certified hood classic
Imagine playing that in an empty Victorian asylum at midnight lol.
In the wake of the Kanye West controversy where he credited the invention of the Microphone to some horrible person.. Let's gave Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville the rightful credit for actually truely inventing the microphone and using it to gave us the first recording ever.
C'est dingue d'entendre ça il y'a 160 ans!!
Haunting
He really didn’t need to slow his singing down, but it was all experimental in those days.
I dig the solo. This band rocks🙃
Wow, when I listen to each of the versions here on CZcams, I can feel David Giovannono's excetment from the first time he played it. The first one to hear it, ever after 160 years!
This is better than 6ix9nine's whole career
Absolute banger
My God, as a Hi-Fi enthusiast, I'm so glad recording technology has improved! 👍🤣
Great vocals 👏

Yes, you can even hear the inhales discernably. Analog recording will always be truer in tone
i love this
Я: пытаюсь заснуть
Комар под моим ухом:
Fantastic!!!!
Please try to double the speed and enjoy!
No
Woah! Didn’t know flies could sing in 1860! So talented!
i’m getting nightmares tonight
Wait till you hear the sped and high pitched version
@@J_Stinger 😃 pretty
This is what every soundcheck sounds like fr
I thought this channel was dead but nice

That scared My little brother
I just hear a fly...
Fun fact: this dude wrote a book with a really long title “Jugement d'un ouvrier [L. Scott] sur les romans et les feuilletons à l'occasion de Ferrand et Mariette [of A. de Bouclon].” (Seriously, that needs to be 15 words shorter)
Lol
How the microphone of my teammates sounds
Can you do music demos? Like Mind Conception from Judas Priest?
Historical
ngl sounds like a broken saxophone
Average CSGO Mic
Where's that fly coming from? I gotta catch it
Who else found it enjoyable
Cool you can make out someone from 161 years ago singing in this recording also kinda creepy
It remainds me Chuwaka
My question is how tf did they get this digitalized?
scanning the waveforms on the paper and using a program to turn it back into sound
@@realaiglon6382 yes but i’m pretty sure that thing doesn’t have any ports of some sort. But bob answered my question, they used a program in a computer to digitalize a piece of paper and turn it to sound
GREAT comment Stinger
C'est très lent.
Empty, when will you upload?
SomeOrdinarygamers gang here :D
what vid?

Me: **Sleeping**
*It's 3:10am*
The sound that I can hear
Sorry for the bad English I'm from Peru and I can speak a little bit of English
Your English is good. I wouldn't have known that you only speak a little bit. Hablo español un poquito jajaja. La canción de Martinville es muy genial.
Mosquito type beat

Ghost singing

I thought you said *orginial*
It's an original Martinville recording. It's just not the first one.
You're 1 year late to my comment, but I appreciate your attempt to clear things up. However, it would be inaccurate to consider this an original Scott de Martinsville recording, since it was altered.
If fly could sing😅😅
Wow weird how the first recording was taken on the birthday of hitler
Fsm
This isn't the actually first singer cuz the USA's national anthem was made in Sept. 14, 1814 and it had vocals in this was made in april, 20, 1860 I'm saying the anthem is first btw
of those there were songs before this this is just the first recorded song
@@myspleenisbursting4825to add on, there were many songs beforehand so op's comment doesn't really make sense when referring to "first singer" lol
Debussy didn’t write Clair de lune until 1890 so how can he be singing a song 30 years before it was written 😂
Different song au Clair de lune is a children's song
@@benjaminconaghan6978 Not so much originally, as there is a reference to the neighbour having sex in her kitchen, but the expression ("battre le briquet") is so old that most people wouldn't know ^^ Strangely, other French songs sung to children nowadays contain veiled references to sex.
@@Samhalta sound French
Au Clair de la Lune is a completely different song from Clair de Lune, but also the song you're referring to was based on a poem written in 1869 so it's older that you think.
