Recordist's notes

Vespers is ringing at St André’s church, but, due to the process of restoration of its bell tower, the bell itself and its structure has been set in the small public passage behind the church. This allows a very near recording, to less than 1 meter, so that one can hear, by the end, the mechanism of the clockwork.
