Recordist's notes

It's often interesting to speak in the tubes or the cisterns. Resonance are huge, even more if it's empty. In the abandoned mines, near everything is derelicted, so it's a great playing field. Nothing to say is not a good thing in fact ; you have to say something, even if it's whatever. In first I speak stupid things on a hole on the cistern summit. After, I say other stupids words in a long tube going threw the cistern. I was not sure it was really connected and it was 2 meters high. I had to climb and to do a traction force with arms to speak... It would be really interesting to speak some intelligent things in a place like that.
