Brahms The first inadvertent noise recording?

[luciferjonez]

I'm reading "Listen to this" by Alex Ross and he cited this recording and though not intended to be a noise recording it made me want to listen to more earlier low fi classical music pieces:

If you haven't already heard the first known sound recordings by Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville, they'd be right up your alley.

Additionally, though more recent, you may nevertheless find this label of interest: they put out a bunch of lo-fi obscurities from the 1920's-1950's.

EDIT: okay, this should definitely be right up your alley.

There are a few archives of wax cylinder recordings online, a lot of those are pretty much unintentional lo-fi noise. Planning to do some mixtape of the best i've found some time :)

That would be an interesting listen. On the topic of wax cylinders David Byrne had floated the idea in his book "How music works" that the Romans or Greeks could have made these machines as they did not require electricity. They were all gears and a horn with a wax cylinder.

The debut performance of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring in Paris, 1913; sounded like quite a noise show.
