Recordist's notes
A part of the trainroad that links Nantes to Saint-Nazaire goes in tunnels under Nantes. I recorded the sound of a train passing by the "tranchée Babonneau" - a portion of that railroad which is a sort of open-sky tunnel below the Rue Babonneau, in a residential part of the town center. We can hear a car passing by, followed by a high speed train calmly reaching the trainstation, a few kilometers away. We can also hear an alarm that rings when a train is nearby. I used a Sony PCM M10, and its the first time i upload something there.
