At the pier of Piran

About the sound

Recorded sound from Piran harbour comes from different parts of the pier which are all hinged together. When someone walks by the pier the distinct sound of the hinges can be heard.

Recording was made as a collaborating effort by the participants of the Piranova Colloquium Sounds and Music. The objective was to find sounds which are essential for the local commune and as the town had relied centuries on sea and fishing the sound of the pier was chosen.
