Recordist's notes
"The Almabtrieb (bavarian) is an annual event in the alpine regions in Europe, referring to a cattle drive that takes place in late September or early October." Wiki Characteristic is the sound of the bells attached to the cows. From a sonic point of view, the different movements of the animals create an interesting sound panorama. These recordings are short frames of my soundscape studies, I am in no way connected to the cultural event itself. Only a minimal amounts of EQ were used. Recorded with a Zoom H4n Recorded by Anton Acher
