Recordist's notes
Recorded with Zoom H2. An "alpage pasture" landscape where echoes cowbells. Here is an association of anthrophony and biophony : cowbells are musical instruments designed by humans to identify herds and/or their owners (each owner has his specific sound signature), but cowbells only resonate with the movement of the animal. In the middle of the recording, a plane can be heard over cowbells : loud anthrophony above these mountains. Some mooings can be heard too (biophony). http://aporee.org/maps/projects/anthropocene
