Recordist's notes
The time is a guess. In Cassis there was a fireworks show featuring music, men wearing suits covered in LEDs blowing fire on boats, and also abseiling up the side of the nearby cliff and zip-lining down to the sea. There were also projections onto the side of the cliff face. In the recording you can hear the fireworks and music most prominently, and towards the end you can hear a car alarm that was triggered by the fireworks, and some voices from the crowd. Recorded on a ZOOM H1
