Recordist's notes

Dans le quartier du Panier, je recherche les "silences" de la ville.. Moins de circulation automobile, absence de climatiseurs et de leur ronronnement omniprésent, pas de "bom boum" des sonos des bars et restaurants... je trouve un petit espace qui respire... quelques passants. Prise de sons : JF CAVRO ZOOM F3 + Sonosax + Schoeps CCM4 "ORTF"
