Recordist's notes

Château d'Avignon en Camargue - Factory building, 'Le domaine des murmures # 1'. From July, 19th, to Octobre, 19th in 2014, there is a pretty fine sound art exhibiton at the Château d'Avignon en Camargue. Titled 'Le domaine des murmures # 1', several site-specific sound works turn the parc and some of the outbuildings into a pulsating soundscape. Visitors are invited to explore the works of twelve different artists. See http://www.chateaudavignon.fr/exposition/le-domaine-des-murmures-1.html for further information. In this particular recording, you can hear the drone of an old water pump which was once driven by steam, and is now powered by electricity. You will also notice the complete absence of sound from the installation by Emmanuel Lagarrigue in the same facility. [Hi-MD-recorder Sony MZ-NH900, Beyerdynamic MCE 82]
