Soundscape Odyssey Québécois with Edda Bild
Ben là, we recorded this episode during the two days in May 2024 while travelling through Montreal, Québec (CA). Edda Bild (la ville sonore) led us from one luring soundscape intervention site to another. Francesco, Tin and Andrew applied field recording and field rant techniques, in situ, to stay focused on their mission.
We hope you will enjoy this sound collage of ambiances and witful insights from Edda and your favourite hosts. We start from Le Plateau-Mont-Royal and then visit the City and Quartier des Spectacles, exploring microsoundscapes and water features in quite some depth.
