Recordist's notes
Eating my breakfast in the park, I was astonished by the curious sound of ducks shouting. Having a look, I decided to make a small recording. While recording, a neighbour is coming, intrigued by my motionless posture. I asked him : you live with this every day ?? It's because the ducks are hungry, he said. It's a good owner who give food at the same hour everyday, and so the ducks claim. I said : And so, you live with these shouts, fights and coincoincoin everyday ?? This is Spartaaa ? We are used to, he said... This is a 10mn recording, but half an hour after, ducks were still shouting ! Ducks in madness ;-)
