More Info

"Farol is the sound portrait of a monumental architecture : the 25 Abril bridge in Lisbon.
The 25 Abril bridge is a symbol for the Portuguese capital. Visible to tens kilometers around, it serves as a visual and noisy landmark. As we come closer, the buzz becomes stronger until it gets blatant, like the light from a lighthouse which becomes blinding when the coast is near.
~
Farol est le portrait sonore dune architecture monumentale. Ce field recording nous emmne au cur du pont du 25 avril, emblme de Lisbonne. Visible plusieurs dizaines de kilomtres la ronde, il sert de repre la fois visuel et sonore. mesure quon sen approche le bourdonnement se fait plus fort jusqu devenir clatant, comme la lumire dun phare devient aveuglante lorsque la cte est proche.
