Recordist's notes
Here in this desertic land, there's an enclosure, where farmers put dead bodies as sheeps or cows. As this, vultures can eat. I began to record the fence with contact microphones, but a strong snow began to fall, with an atrocious cold wind. The sound ? It just makes something weird I didn't want to erase, as it was so strange to be with dead bodies in a so desertic and hostile place...
