Oldest recording ever?
December 4th, 2008 by Theeboon
FirstSounds.ORG offers (what probably is) the first recording ever of a human voice (in this case singing a line from a french folk song). This is recorded seventeen years before Edison did his thing for the first time.
We released this sound in March 2008, and it has become the icon of humanity’s first recording of its own voice. In September we undertook a second restoration using more advanced technologies.
The website’s goal is to create a comprehensive database of old recorded sound and other related and historically significant material.
