Recordist's notes
This recording is a binaural walkthrough of Joydeb Mela(Fair). It is a famous gathering known for its association with Bauls and Fakirs. I visited this place on January 15th, 2024. Did a walkthrough and recorded the scape binaurally, with self-made cheap microphone capsules. It may sound harsh, but I guess still worth giving a try.
About the place
Durgapur is a city of about 518,872 people in West Bengal, India.
Equipment mentioned: Binaural microphones. Microphones worn in the ears (or in a dummy head) that capture sound as a listener hears it – best experienced on headphones.
