This was recorded inside the Blue Mosque in Istanbul during Friday prayer in may 2005. To get in to the Blue Mosque with recording equipment we had to get a permission from the religious authorities. We also needed a Muslim to operate the equipment since the Friday prayers were forbidden for non-Muslims. We set up the recording equipment and let our Turkish guide hit the record button once the prayer started. The sound is recorded using an M/S rig straight to DAT and processed afterwards with a HP filter in Protools to remove microphone rumble.

Recorded by Asbjørn Blokkum Flø, Kjetil Bjørgan and the anonymous guide.
