Makes you think
Yesterday on the radio there was a recording - not at all bad quality,
just a bit scratchy - of a man who was born during the 1700s.With a little more luck, we could quite possibly have had a recording of an eye-witness description of the Napoleonic wars. d |

Funny you should mention this. Just today I was listening to the GeekSpeak podcast (KUSP public radio in Santa Cruz) and one of the stories was about this story in Science mag about the restoring of the earliest known recording made for sale, as part of a Thomas Edison talking doll cylinder, where the cylinder was warped and corroded yet the recording was finally uncovered by creating a microscopic 3D map of it and then turning that into the audio. Cool story.

There ARE eye witness descriptions of the Napoleonic wars... in print. Somehow I fail to see a lack of audio recordings of them as any great loss. With earlier audio recording we may have had actual recordings of Bach, Motzart etc, or the more talented musicians of the day. THAT would be of more interest to many I'm sure. However the quality of later recordings from early last century makes even those of curiousity value only. Trevor. |

Attempts have been made many times to recover exactly that, and some signal has been found, but buried so far down in the noise as to be totally useless.
