JEHANNE, THIBAULT — Farol
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 d’une architecture monumentale. Ce field recording nous emmène au cœur du pont du 25 avril, emblème de Lisbonne. Visible à plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres à la ronde, il sert de repère à la fois visuel et sonore. À mesure qu’on s’en approche le bourdonnement se fait plus fort jusqu’à devenir éclatant, comme la lumière d’un phare devient aveuglante lorsque la côte est proche.
(Thibault Jehanne, June 2019)
LOCATION : around 25th April Bridge, Lisbon..
Recordings and sound design by Thibault Jehanne in 2017. Mixed in 2018 by Adrien Leprêtre.
