Episode 151 Chapter 12, The History of Audio Recording Technology. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast.   Playlist: THE HISTORY OF AUDIO RECORDING TECHNOLOGY   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:30 00:00 1.     Leon Scott “Au Clair de la Lune” (1860). Phonautograph. One of about 50 recordings made around 1860 by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville's on his invention, the Phonautograph that were digitally restored in 2008 by the First Sounds collaborative. These were created using the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's virtual stylus technology, which sought to track the wavy lines scratched on soot-covered paper as though they were standard record grooves. 00:20 01:38 2.     Alice J. Shaw, an improvised whistling performance (1888) from an Edison Records cylinder recording. 02:13 01:58 3.     George J. Gaskin, “Drill Ye Terriers Drill” (1896) from an E. Berliner's Gramophone shellac disc. 01:24 04:10 4.     Sousa's Band, “Happy Days In Dixie” (1897) from an E. Berliner's Gramophone shellac disc. 01:43 05:36 5.     Emperor Franz Joseph, short message recorded on Valdemar Poulsen's Telegraphone (1900). Early magnetic wire recording. Recording made without microphone. 00:09 07:18 6.     Sousa's Band, “The Mosquito Parade” (1904) from Columbia Records shellac disc. Note the higher fidelity of the instruments compared to earlier recordings on disc, recorded without electrical microphones but optimizing the use of acoustic horns for sound intake. 02:54 07:28 7.     Noble Sissle (vocals) and Eubie Blake (piano), medley of popular songs (1923). Recording using onto an early sound film using the Phonofilm process invented by Lee de Forest. 06:51 10:22 8.     Paul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra, “Rhapsody In Blue” (1924) from an RCA Victor shellac disc. This is an acoustically recorded version of this piece, without the benefit of vacuum tube amplification or electrical microphones. Compare to the 1927 version (next), also by Whiteman, produced using electrical recording. 09:06 17:12 9.     Paul Whiteman And His Concert Orchestra, “Rhapsody In Blue” (1927) from RCA Victor, His Master's Voice shellac disc. An electrical recording using vacuum tube amplification and electrical microphones. 08:59 26:30 10.   Paul Hindemith, “Trickaufnahme” (excerpt) (1930), an experiment in turntablism using turntable discs to both record, mix, and playback the result. 00:58 35:28 11.   BBC, “Pieces of Tape” excerpt of a program (1933) produced by editing together segments recorded previously using the Blattnerphonesteel tape recorded that used a magnetic process. This was the first audio recording assembled using tape editing. A dozen years prior to the available of magnetic tape, edits made to steel tape had to be made by spot welding. 05:29 36:28 12.   Sidney Bechet, “Blues of Bechet” (1941) from an RCA Victor shellac disc. An early example of overdubbing/multitracking. Bechet played every instrument on this track, including the piano, clarinet and soprano saxophone. Each instrument was recorded onto a new master disc and mixed on another disc to create the final recording. 01:57 41:56   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes.

How is music able to convey and trigger such range and depth of emotion? Why does it elicit joy, sorrow, consolation and the chills? Employing research and theoretical models from neuroscience, psychology and musicology, we examine the extraordinary ways that primal and conditioned listening combine to such complex emotive effect. Examples from pop, jazz, rock, film, global, traditional and classical forms are presented under the light of nostalgia, visual imagery, emotional contagion, rhythmic entrainment, aesthetics, expectation and the extra-musical.A lecture by Professor Milton Mermikides recorded on 14 September 2023 at LSO St Luke's Church, LondonThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/music-movesGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Thomas Alva Edison war zwar der erste Erfinder, der 1877 bewusst menschliche Sprache aufgenommen hat, um sie hinterher wiederzugeben – und zwar mithilfe des von ihm erfundenen Phonographen. Doch 2008 wurde ein 17 Jahre älteres Tondokument rekonstruiert. Es geht auf den Pariser Drucker und Buchhändler Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville zurück. Er hat 1857 ebenfalls ein Gerät gefunden, das er Phonautograph nennt. Sein Ziel war es gar nicht, Sprache aufzunehmen, um sie wiederzugeben. Er wollte lediglich Klang visuell aufzeichnen. Dazu benutzte er rußgeschwärztes Papier, das auf eine Walze montiert war. Er sprach in einen Schalltrichter mit einer Membran am Ende. Die Schwingungen der Membran übertrugen sich auf eine Schweinsborste, die wiederum Linien in den Papierruß kratzte.

This week, we're joined by Doc Davis (sound design professor at Otterbein University) and discuss the history of recorded audio, focusing on early recording devices (gramophone, phonautograph, phonograph) and the pioneers of such technology.

Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville invented a way to document sound more than a decade before Thomas Edison developed his wax cylinders. So why isn't he remembered as the king of recording? Because he hadn't figured out one key feature: playing the sound back. Plus: ever wondered what it's like inside an anechoic chamber, which masks almost every sound possible? Really quite and kind of freaky. What Was the First Sound Ever Recorded by a Machine?

SOUNDS COOL! A podcast-based edutainment series on audio and music recording technology, applications, and theory. On this episode, we talk about electricity, magnetic wires, gooey tape, and the bits and bytes. We definitely get some info mixed up, and maybe probably finally understand what it means to be a recordist in the 21st century. So come hang with us for a bit and learn about the weird things we’ve made over the past century to help us capture sounds.

For our premiere episode, we look at some of the Victorian era's inventions from irrelevant to downright dangerous! Jon talks about the phonautograph, the earliest known sound recording device, while Erin discusses the elixir of life, a "holistic remedy" that's a little...nuts.

In 1857 Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville was granted a patent for an invention he called the “Phonautograph.” The contraption was the first to capture sounds, but it did not have a mechanism to play them back. These sounds were locked away until 2008 when researchers found a way to recreate them through modern technology. Brooklyn Around the time that those sounds were being revived, the decision was made to intentionally make the recording of a song as rare and unique as recordings once were. Alec Duffy, from Hoi Polloi and Jack, won the rights to a previously unheard Sufjan Stevens song in a Christmas contest. Rather than release the song on a wide scale, Alec devised a plan to make every time the song is heard a truly unique experience. Learn about the phonautograph and why Alec usually keeps his song locked away in his Brooklyn home. Phonautograph recordings for the episode are from FirstSounds.com.

In this episode of ‘Mind Labs’, we take a listen to the early days of sound recording. Highlighting some of the very first recordings made of the world around us. Featuring pioneering work by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. Presented by Roderick Shearer.
