UNLICENSED LISTENING EXPERIENCES

This page is for bootlegs I make of other people's music (which range from YouTube rips, compilations of loose tracks,
split-up sets, and mp3 archeology) as alternate pathways through their work. I take no credit for any content.
Please reach out to me about any takedowns, questions, or concerns whatsoever. I don't want to go against any artist's wishes.
If you enjoy anything here I highly suggest you check out and support the artists!

Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville's Phonautograph Recordings (1853 - 1860)
The collected (surviving) works of Léon Scott, a French inventor who experimented with recording sound via visual markings (akin to a spectrogram.) They were unable to be played back at the time, but in the 2000s were successfully digitized into audible files. I suggest you read more as to how the technology worked and how we're listening to it now, but regardless, hearing a recognizable human voice through such an abyss of time is surreal.
