someone - a drunken homeless woman with mental problems, actually - cries out loud something I couldnt understand, in a language I couldnt identify. The tone is clear though: desperation, suffering, pain... The sample is not longer because protesting people in the neighbourhood hushed her down (with words not exactly kind, you know)
2022 edit: some users being curious about this sample, I add here the answer I wrote on its origin: "This sample you mention was recorded on Dec 2nd 2007, from my balcony like many other samples by that time. For some reason this street had nice reverberation, and a small alley nearby still contributed to the good sound. Days before recording, I had noticed this person (middle aged woman, very drunk, foreigner) which had found shelter in the alley. Often, as I passed near I could hear her mumbling words which I couldn't understand.
So to answer your question: it was recorded on the field, so I didn't create the sample strictly speaking, she did. I was ready, somehow focused on her presence in the neighbourhood, and just took the chance. I should also add that from 2006 through 2012 I was obsessive about recording, registered any source around me.
Thank you for your interest, in case you want to see the spot: https://goo.gl/maps/5Vf3iRPNBQP3Wi689

Wow, this is such a heartbreaking sound. Thank goodness you were aware enough to capture it. I would love to use it in an indie supernatural thriller I am putting together, Would you be kind enough to grant me permission? I would be so grateful.

So incredibly sad - I used it in a rather melancholic winter depression song, and with your permission, I'd like to release it as a part of a 4 song EP - would that be possible? Anyway, thanks for this haunting piece of life, though my regards go out to this woman.

This is unbelievably haunting. It seems weird to say thank you for recording someone's agony, but...it's really powerful, so thanks.
