Recordist's notes

Into the underground slate quarry, I found a reverberation tunnel. It's always the same : small tunnel, smooth walls, everything straight ahead, a ceiling diminishing very slowly. Only one place works and considering that the tunnel is big or small, only one note works. In order to show aporee audience how sounds reverberate in a slate quarry, I sing a few notes. Unederground mines are so funny !
