Meanwhile, some people from the same university was reinforced in France looking for some old stuff to play with, such as cylinder phonograph. But what power they just get ablack paper with scratch marks on the paper. They came home with a very disappointed,but when the paper is rotated, they heard a beautiful sound out of the paper. At first they thought the voice was the voice of a woman, but the voice is the voice of Scott!

On the recording, the sound can be heard being hummed Scott song Au clair de la Lune.Recording stops when he sang the "mon ami, Pierrot repondit". These recordings areregarded as the most important recordings in human history.
