Human traffic in Cembra

A short piece of atmosphere in old Cembra. People talking and human traffic is lively around lunch time. If one pays attention to the acoustics and reverberation no wonder many have asked if the recordings were made indoors.


Easter rituals of Cembra

Sounds of early spring. Quiet birdsong provides a background to the steps of people walking through the labyrinth of houses in the old part of Cembra village. The ambience is occasionally filled with fragments of hymns sung during a procession. The recordist moves into the Santa Maria church during daytime mass where a woman is reading a liturgical text. Then the recordist moves outside again. The choir singing inside the church can be heard coming through the doors in the piazza outside the church.
