Recording Story

For a few days, a small town in central France transforms and welcomes thousands of visitors. It’s summer, the time to party has come. People stroll around, stop to watch shows that street artists offer freely. The crowd reacts with excitement, laughter, and shouts to the various performances. All this energy animates the usually quiet streets of this small town.
In addition to the recordings made during the Festival ECLAT in Aurillac, some crowd recordings in this pack were also made during the Braderie de Lille, where people also move through pedestrian streets. The absence of vehicles makes way for the crowd.
This collection of sounds will be useful for creating a crowded atmosphere and also for punctuating scenes with crowded surround reactions.
