*I'm saying we, since I would need to work with an expert. I am not only totally blind (who knows if this would be accessible), but I know nothing about this sort of thing.*
To make a very long story short, I am aware that there is severe frequency loss in acoustic recordings. That is why they sound so tinny, even when compared to the earliest electrics. Some voices are affected more than others, but even the ones with the best recordings still experience some of it. With the advances in technology at our disposal in 2025, however, I am wondering if it would be possible to attempt to restore some of those frequencies. Ideally, it might sound like something from the 1940's, but I doubt that is possible, at least with the earlier records, so at least the 1920's or 1930's would be great.
The thing is, I don't know exactly what is lost. So my idea is to record a modern singer (with at least a somewhat similar voice to the original) on period equipment and digitally symultaneously. In this way, we would have the live singer, plus two very different recordings. We could then compare the live, electric, and acoustic versions with a device or software that measures frequencies. Once we have determined what is lost, we could then try to restore the actual records in question.
If we were doing this with a cylinder machine, it would be very easy. Not only can one literally still record at the Edison Museum, but there are people today who record in wax with both real machines and reproductions, including commercially! However, the first singer whom I have in mind for this, Francesco Tamagno, recorded on disks, which complicates everything. I was very familiar with cylinder recording prior to designing this project, though I had never done it myself, but I knew absolutely nothing about 78s. Then, I learned.

As I was saying, it is beyond complicated! Even if we took a chance and recorded the wax master and then used it for playback, skipping the step of actually making a shellac record, there is still the issue of finding recording equipment from Tamagno's time, which is ridiculously rare and doubtlessly too expensive for most people to consider buying. You might ask why we couldn't just use a cylinder machine, since they were certainly around in 1903. The problem is that their frequency loss was different from shellac records, so it would ruin the experiment if the difference was significant. Is it? Can anyone tell me? Do we even need to make a modern recording, or is technology good enough that we can simply add in the frequences from previous knowledge? If this can be perfected, or at least made feasible, there are hundreds of singers whose voices can finally be let out of the can, at least a little, and made to sound more life-like! Many of these didn't live to see electric recordings. I'm sure everyone would jump on this if I said Enrico Caruso was on the list, for example. But he, too, recorded on disks. I wonder if we can skip the recording experiment and use a singer, such as Tito Schipa (my personal favourite), whose recordings span both the acoustic and electric eras, from 1913 to 1964, as a control and gauge the frequency loss that way. If we wanted someone who recorded earlier, we could try someone like Alessandro Bonci or Mattia Battistini, but both only made it to the 1920's.

New #Project with my friends!
https://krnldev.nerdnextdoor.net/
We are making our own #OSDev / #KernelDev #Wiki. (We're aware of osdev.org and osdev.wiki.)
The wiki source is on #Codeberg. We aim to be a modern and reliable source for AARCH64 and x86_64 OSDev, documenting kernels and how they work so others can learn from them and being a friendly newcomer place.
We may do other architectures including 32-bit too but our main focus are the ones we picked.

Mastui – A Retro-Modern Mastodon Client for the Terminal

Roughing out a federated payment processor that can resist censorship, but lacks a huge piece.

Since I need to do this manually, if anybody knows of a "third-party confirms a financial transaction" system, this might be doable.
I also want to chew a little more on that word, " #project ." It comes from Latin for something thrown forward, https://www.etymonline.com/word/project which French thinker Merleau-Ponty framed as becoming a part of the world by throwing yourself toward your goals.
Read this way, projects are how someone stretches out and shapes the world even as they are shaped by it. That can be big-deal stuff like becoming a household name (but that's not YOU, is it? Being so well-known means your name will glide and skip on many tongues that don't know the weight of it), but it can also be something closer to home, like little scribbles that thrill you and no one else, how the wind smells when a new story starts to grow. Breathing everything around you a little more deeply and rooting deeper into the earth in which you threw the seed.
A project doesn't have to make you rich or scatter your name far and wide. Projects at heart are how we live, flying gleefully into our being even while we grow more grounded and unflappable from knowing who and where we are. Big or small, known everywhere or to one, it's all worth it and makes us more whole. #TootEssay #etymology

Group is meeting this week to decide how we want to expand the group (whether to keep it local, how many invites we want to do at once, etc)
I have a new #project - #mapping the digital service infrastructure in the UK. Specifically all those tools, products, services and platforms that underpin the development of other services.
I've created a site and I really hope that any #UK #digital folks will help me boost this, because it's pretty empty right now, and I need help filling it up.
https://alternatives-in.uk is an act of #resistance - I will eventually create a dedicated Mastodon account, but for now, I'll put updates here.
