Following on from their 2xCD compilation of the same name, INFREQUENCY have released a free compilation of compositions based on the earliest known recording of the human voice.

The original recording was made by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville on April 9, 1860 using his own invention, the phonautograph, and consists of a series of scratches on a roll of blackened paper. Scott had never developed a way to play back his recordings and they went unheard for 148 years. In 2008, scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory converted the thin lines back into audio, allowing us to hear a woman singing a segment of the folk song “Au Clair de la Lune”.

The 2xCD compilation, Au Clair De La Lune, is available from INFREQUENCY.ORG and features many acclaimed artists such as Steve Roden, Stephen Vitiello & Molly Berg, Bernhard Günter and Christophe Charles.
