- The First Recorded Sounds
Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville.
Born 25 April 1817
Died 26 April 1879 (aged 62)
Au Clair de la Lune
The inventor of sound recording made the world's first recordings of airborne sounds in Paris between 1853/4 and 1860 on a machine he called a phonautograph.
Scott recorded the French folksong "Au Clair de la Lune" on April 9, 1860, and deposited the results with the Académie des Sciences in 1861. It remains the earliest clearly recognizable record of the human voice yet recovered. The words have been a matter of controversy, but the latest playback-unveiled in May 2010-establishes them as “Au clair de la lune, mon ami Pierrot, prete moi-,” rather than “Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit,” as originally announced. The latest work also reveals that Scott had allowed the cylinder to slow down-possibly to a complete stop-between the words “Pierrot” and “prete,” perhaps indicating a pause to check how much unrecorded space was left on the sheet.
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.
September 15, 1860
La Chanson de l'Abeille from Massé's La Reine Topaze but was recorded without the amplifying lever. The sound quality is markedly different, even though both phonautograms were played back using identical methods
August 17, 1857
Société d’Encouragement pour l’Industrie Nationale, is the earliest known sound recording inscribed with a specific day as opposed to a month. An inscription identifies the content as “song at a distance,” with the words “jeune jouvencelle” (“young little girl”) written at the beginning and “les échos” (“the echoes”) at the end-possibly referring to the lyrics of a song as yet unidentified.
1859 Phonautogram diapason at 435Hz
Institut National de la Propriété Industrielle in 1859. We believe it to be a record made by a tuning fork vibrating at 435 Hz, then just adopted as the official French reference pitch.

I use a phonautograph as my mic
When you realize you're listening to the voice of someone born over 200 years ago. That's pretty mind blowing.
@@plaguerat7015 What? The records have over 150,160 years. The guy who recorded that is over 200 years.
@@plaguerat7015 you're kinda dxmb
Not yet 200 years. He is in the future that dude. He is already ready for those in 2060 seeing his comment lol.
It really is mind blowing. Imagine people reading our UA-cam comments in 100 years.
Even more mindblowing is that you only have sound recording since a little longer than the oldest people of today are alive. Mankind is in the middle of a vertical takeoff.
Can’t wait for the mixtape

I kinda feel disturbed because i know i'm listening to people that has died a long time ago.
ikr
Just watch M*A*S*H. Its loaded with people that died a long time ago. Is that disturbing? No. The show is amazing. Loads and loads of shows and movies have people in them that died a long time ago.
Dont listen MJ then, or Queen, or XXXTentacion, or 2Pac, or...or...f*ck...
I just realized all beautiful persons are dead.

i literally thought the first clip was the actual sound and i was a bit surprised
I moved bro wait so The first clip isn’t the actual play back?
@@breejames6323 nope, they saw every wavelenght the other dude drew and recreated it
Well it kinda is.
It is the actual sound. The fidelity we hear in the playback matches the fidelity of the recording. Nothing additional or "fake" was added. The only caveat is that nobody had invented a machine to play back these recordings yet. The later recordings that were made to be played back sound worse because compromises in quality had to be made due to technological limitations so that they could actually be played back using the machines they had at the time.
Me too
0:06 his voice is so nice
I agree
Too bad every other recording of his voice is distorted to hell and back.

@@offscreen6578 LMAOOO
Sounds like someone you wanna hug
I think a bit of clarification is needed here. The "recordings" made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville were never meant to be "played back." They were visually etched on paper covered by soot so you could see the sound wave. They were not able to be played on the equipment that you are showing. The only reason we can hear them now is because we now have the ability to digitize the wave images and then use a computer to assign sounds the the wave. Modern technology has proven that Édouard-Léon Scott de Marinville did indeed record sound, but he did not invent any apparatus that could play what he had recorded. Still a remarkable achievement and amazing that we are now able to hear what he had captured.
mst3ktemple they already had the recording device, reverse engineering it to play back wouldn’t have been that hard had that been the intent
mst3ktemple
That makes it 100 times more remarkable
Not by anything he did mind
@@dylanzrim1011 That was not the intent, the intent was to record sound in visual form on paper. They also wouldn't have been able to play it because it was just etchings in lampblack. But obviously it was only a couple of decades later that Edison did figure out how to playback sound, using tin foil and later wax cylinders. His success was partly because of Scott de Martinville's work, for which he received little to no credit in his lifetime.
Just imagine if someone managed to do that long long before the 1860's
Its so weird to listen to what someone drew.
The au Claire de la lune one is really eerie, and if how it sounds wasn’t enough the fact that it’s over 150 years old and nobody from that era is still alive really adds to it.
At least Jonathan the Tortoise is still here! ;)

It's just a man singing you know. I wonder if much of our recordings will survive in 150 years time. Probably seem normal by then if they do.
There's a sketch by a comedy group called 'Studio C' that went with this same idea for one of their Halloween episodes. Mom and Dad are trying to put a baby to sleep, but the baby only stops crying when they play a slasher soundtrack 08. The mom runs out saying "I've got to put on a Disney movie!" XD
If you want to see it, look for "Studio C baby's favorite lullaby".
They've got all kinds of other funny stuff. If you haven't heard of them, they're the people who did the "Scott Sterling" video - with the soccer ball to the face.
Lol Disney is satanic😂
why
title should be the first KNOWN recorded sounds , because we dont know if more was done before...
You don't think if someone would have recorded a sound before they wouldn't have told everyone they knew and gained worldwide fame for a groundbreaking invention? It's fair to say these are the first sounds ever recorded.
not necessarily... maybe some recordings have been lost. maybe someone did record other stuff and we dont know about it. wordwide fame ? there was no internet back then and such things were not necessarily known worldwide... also , when u make a big discovery , u dont necessarily want everyone to know about it because they could steal your invention. u see those recordings , i just learned about it not long ago.... some made great inventions or paintings and such and had very little fame from it back then. it came much later if not hundreds of years later after the person died. u should know this i guess. many paintings were not worth much back then but now sold for millions. many times those artists had problem just have something to eat and a house to live...
Lane Thompson The recording of "Au Clair de la Lune" could not be played back at all when it was recorded. So he didn't know if he was truest successful or not.
Don’t forget that there was no solid protocol for how to store and preserve the phonoautograph recordings, so for all we know, there could be dozens of recordings that remain lost, due to them being destroyed, unplayable or held in terrible conditions.
Similar to how film stock can be reduced to sludge if the negatives weren’t stored properly.
I recorded one in 1857.
2:42 oh God what's this? Please don't tell me Nightcore has existed since the 1850s heresy!

Forever etched into human history is this man's attempt at recording sound physically. 160+ years later we get to hear the voice of a man alive in the days of Queen Victoria around age 30.
2:34 i found da video creepy BUT I COMPLETELY LOST IT HERE 😂
we- bro sounds like Elmo singing in French
And I love it I can’t stop smiling
Yeah I shouldn't of pressed on 2:34 ! Wtf is this 😅
Sounds catchy to me.
I lost at 1:13 because it was loud and I was immediately hidding under my blanket💀Its creepy
Hearing old recordings like this is very emotional. It is a difficult to describe. It makes one consider their place in this world and their own mortality. It throws your own mortality in your face and realize you are just a small part of a very long story.
"What's more unsettling than the unnatural, is a distortion of the familiar."
Uncanny valley
Who said that?
the lyrics to au clair in english:
In The moonlight
My freind pierrot
Lend me your pen
To write a word
My candle is dead
I do not have anymore fire
Open me your door
For God's sake
In the moonlight
Pierrot answered
I have no pen
I'm in my bed
Go to the neighbor
I believe she is there
Because in his kitchen
We beat the lighter
In the moonlight
We only see a little
We are looking for a pen
We are looking for fire
Looking so
I don't know what we will find
But I know the door
On them closed
famous french song
I wonder if he chose it insinuating at him being incapable of knowing if he'd successfully recorded the sound or not. To him, surely all he could know for certain is it had made scratches and scribbles. "I don't know what we will find but i know the door On them closed"
Why does this feel like it's translated by Google
@@VlidOnTheLead probably cuz they have bad translation
Props to Scott for rejecting autotune. Keep it real!
It’s weird to think about a time where recording hearing things back was never heard of.
It’s really fascinating to hear actual sounds from when Abraham Lincoln was alive and before he was even president, and even before the Civil War began. James Buchanan was still president! Horrible quality of course, but still fascinating.
It's a shame Abraham Lincoln's voice wasn't recorded. 2020-10-24

You're not the only one pal
The first record of the video is more recent, certainly dating from around 1870, as the singer mention "Garibaldi fighting for the French"... The legendary Italian patriot Giuseppe Garibaldi did indeed fought for France against the Prussian in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71.
Only 1850’s kids will remember these bangers

@🚀Kalle🚀 trying to roast on the internet is not a cool thing to do
Don’t worry, it’s just a 1800’s man singing “Au Clair de la lune”
KidBoi this 1:12
I feel like I have to point it out. It's one thing if you casually listen to this recording during the daytime, where you can easily get distracted. But it gets to a completely different level when you listen to it around midnight, while sitting on your couch with the lights off and the only thing you can hear is this odd distorted sound. Not the most comfortable feeling, no matter how you look at it.
@🚀Kalle🚀 bro you just killed him
Audio recordings (and videos as well ) is the closest we will ever come to time travel
For now
Matthew DiStefano yes it is.
Were the French focused on video and audio at the time? It seems like no other countries really had big parts in the first camera and all...
RyansS923- The French certainly led the way, but Britain's Henry William Fox Talbot was also influential.
Anyone know the song name at the autro?
London has the first video recorded i forgot what its called but i heard its from london
@@skip6874 It's from Leeds
@@wazzaaaabie8781 "Au clair de la Lune" the French contine Léon registered back then, but in a WAY better quality.
Bodies perish, soul leaves but the voices stay. 🥺
Some may find it creepy but this is so cool. Hearing the pioneers of these technological advancements while the advancements is going on is so cool to have. These are the people who helped shape how far we've come today, and having this as memories of those people is amazing.
its both
1:40 when you were playing with your Fisher Price recorder and pressed your mouth on the mic.
The voice of the first ever sound recording, at night the original singer will come and get you in your dreams.
How weird is this. Your body can be cremated or decay over more than a century, then a recording of your voice, uniquely produced by your vocal chords - once resonating in a body that existed (and today there might be nothing left of that person, except images and sound clips - and we can still hear it today - and seeing that we are now in the most unique time of humanity's development, who knows, for how many years more recorded sound will be heard - it's all just too fascinating to wrap your head around it
2:33 damn 1860's nightcore go hard
I'm sure that at the time of recording, this wasn't creepy, but rather extraordinary.

Wow, these are some "Silent Hill" kind of creepy, distorted sounds, imo.
Great job with this! The end was perfect, and is really haunting for a time travel!
A lot of these sound almost exactly like my friend's microphone.
Arthur Morgan was the first man to sing that song. When he left, I, his hat, turned it on and played the same song. It’s the only time my voice has ever been heard by a another soul, the ones who listened to it years later.

Stop for a second, if you will, and embrace the fact that that recording is nearly 160 years old.

So it wasn’t a woman’s voice- it was a man’s, and the inventor nonetheless. There is also a test recording of him reciting an Italian poem and I can recognize the voices as being the same.

_second recording sounds like a nightmare_
That is crazy! To even think about doing this so early is incredible. Amazing
Why did they record the creepiest sounds
They didn't, it's just that everything sounds like ass because this was like 150 years ago.
It's because it's damaged as hell
Yeah I know right
It's really just the device they were using at the time. It seemed to have distorted the recordings. It was one of the first of it's kind so it took a long time to make it sound good, it's worth mentioning that this device is over 100 years old.
Ikr its so creepy
Can't believe this is fairly close to 200 years old!
It's amazing that the modern technology can bring history back to life . It must have amazing to the ppl at the time to know works of the inventor
did I just cried?! welp this melt my heart cs you are listening to old legendary❤✨
This just sounds like the average 10 year old on Gmod
Edouard actually has a beautiful voice
I was watching this late at night and the little girls voice popped up and scared the shit out of me
little did he know... his invention today is 100× smaller and is built into many things. cameras, security cameras, smartphones, flip phones, nokia like phones, headphones, desktops, laptops, tablets, nintendo dses, nintendo 3dses, nintendo wii u gamepads, modern tv remotes, amazon echoes, google homes, siri, and way more have his invention built in. if he didnt invent the microphone... then we wouldnt have had videos with sound, music, and a lot more! its cool how one invention can turn the world into a more modern place!
he said :
It was a morning, in the newspaper of Paris. It was on the gray paper. We eard a voice, it was the name of Garibaldi.
It's me, i'm here, It's me Garibaldi, it's me who swear to issue the France and protect his liberty. his liberty.
You are right. I know French, but it took me a while to hear it clearly.
C'était un matin, dans les journals de Paris, c'était sur le papier gris. On a (en)tendé un voix, c'est le nom de Garibaldi. C'est moi, je suis ici, c'est moi Garibaldi. C'est moi qui est géré de delébré la France et protéger, sa liberté. Sa liberté.

2:53 "Quando eu era pequenino, perguntava à minha mãe"

Adoraria saber o nome dela
ZÉ DA ESQUINA infelizmente essa música não é brasileira e portuguesa
Também adoraria saber o nome dela.
É a versão portuguesa da famosa musica "Que sera sera". No UA-cam não encontro mas lembro-me da minha mãe e falecida avó cantarem-me e trautearem-na quando eu era pequenino, tipo canção popular ... recordações de infância.

02:07 When I happened to relisten to my old CD "Adiemus: Songs of Sanctuary" i discovered a previously unknown ghost track of Dolphin subliminal messages that said "get off a dying planet before an interstellar expressway was being built and oh farewell and thanks for all the fish."
I think someone found a lost recording of a 14 year old using voice chat on a game
What if that's how people actually talked back then
It is in French
idk y'all it just makes me kind of content to think of these people living in real time and so excited to not only record SOUND but actually hear ANY sound they record back to them, never being able to fathom being able to record and review not only their voices but themselves in real time hundreds of years later. imagine their excitement being able to hear their voices back for the first time ever
2:08 squeaky noises that’s my jam.
This is disturbing but at the same time so beautiful
It's weird listening to old vocal cords vibrate. Vocal cords that have long since decayed and been consumed by bacteria.
can't wait for this fire album
The scary part is that I don't even know what language they are probably speaking like its scary to see how old it is.
Typical X Languages haven’t changed since then dummy
If you read the rest of the notes, it's French. The song is Au Clair de la Lune.
The first sound recorded was a mic spam.
