The sounds of Olonzac are beginning to find their way into ambient soundscapes.  Good things to follow, the Muse willing …

If you read the previous entry, I’ve been steeping in the sounds of Olonzac.  I walk the twisting inner corridors of the village both day and night and find myself listening either through the strangeness of a foreign body or through a set of headphones connected to my ‘Zoom H4n.”  I’m not sure I’ll ever get over the self-conscious feeling of looking like an amateur ethnographer (or just an oddball).

Anyway, I mentioned the church bells, the snippets of the very musical French voice, and The Voice.  I recorded some samples of each of these and then, aided and inspired by “Bistro Fada,” a song by Stephane Wrembel from the soundtrack of Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris,” my daughter Zinta and I created une petite paysage sonore.

Have a listen.  No red wine required …
