Recordist's notes
I was very close to the church in Courdemanche, shortly before 9 a.m. The bell tower is home to many birds, as you can hear in the recording. Just before the bells rang at 9 a.m., a car started and drove over the gravel road. And just after the bells stopped ringing, you can hear a plane. While recording, I thought it would all end up sounding like a montage, but it wasn't. Recorded with a Zoom H6. Enjoy!
