Recordist's notes

On june 24, my wife decided to leave me, after 17 years of common life, traveling, exploring, recording everywhere. It arrived during a long evening spent in a school ( sound https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=36999 ). We are exactly three month after. I still understood nothing, but henceforth no matter. In my new home, this is the common sound I can hear near everyday, also a school with young children. The name is heather school, in fact its the name of the district of the Louvain-La-Neuve city. It was a symbolic act to record the first day in it, new home, new life, new hopes. Regularly, you can hear my great friend the Common Starling. Nothing special about this sound, except it was my first hour in it. A new beginning.
