Recordist's notes
C’est une de ces dalles où les carreaux de ciment se sont légèrement déséquilibrés avec les années, si bien qu’ils émettent un « clonk » quand on passe dessus. Ici on enregistre à vélo, avec un micro sur la roue avant & l’autre à l’arrière. A ‘singing’ paving slab It’s one of those paving slabs where the cement tiles have become slightly uneven over the years, so that they make a ‘clunk’ sound when you walk over them. Here we’re recording whilst cycling, with one microphone on the front wheel and the other on the rear.
