Recordist's notes
Test acoustique : Un kiosque à musique au coeur de la ville, dans lequel « il est impossible de faire de la musique » ! a dit quelqu’un. Ou bien il faudrait imaginer la musique qu’on pourrait y faire… Et pour cause : sa forme & sa matière (béton) y génèrent non seulement un magnifique écho flottant mais aussi une fréquence de résonance très présente & très pure. Floating echo & resonance frequency Acoustic test: A bandstand in the heart of the city, in which ‘it’s impossible to make music’! as someone once said. Or perhaps we should imagine the music that could be played there… And with good reason: its shape and material (concrete) generate not only a magnificent floating echo but also a very distinct and pure resonance frequency.
