Presto

This is a one hour sound of the rain onto the gigantic roofs of an abandoned factory. This warehouse is the Herserange wire drawing plant, located in Lorraine, France. It has been in a state of abandonment for 20 years. In 1965, Longwy area was the lifeblood of 26,000 steelmakers. Today, absolutely everything is dead. Areas are devastated, gloomy and morbid. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to make a poetic visit, since I had the rare and precious opportunity to record the rain in all its forms. The gigantic hangar offers a very large subject, with many roof waterproofing defects. I made two albums of this place : a one-hour continuity of rain sound (the concerto) and a one-hour compilation of various rain sounds (the symphony). Here is the sound of the symphony. III - Presto
