Recordist's notes

Into the Mazaugues underground bauxite mine, we explode a tunnel with a dynamite stick. It's made in aim to enter in a new cave. A big well is mined, in order to reach the actually impossible to access cave. The explosion has an EXTREMELY high pressure. So, you wont hear a bam, but only the recorder becoming completely lost, because of the sticked sensors.
