Bagpipe

3/8/2011 - Fifth day

This recording was made in Santiago de Compostela, in one of the accesses to Praza do Obradoiro. There was a guy playing some sort of traditional music with a bagpipe. We started recording at a distance about 50 meters and slowly getting closer to the musician. It is nice to hear how the sound is constantly getting louder and louder, giving the sensation that you are already next to the bagpiper, but there is always some room for getting a bit louder. When we are just next to the musician he suddenly stops playing and you can hear how the bagpipe deflates.

The recording was made with a Zoom H4n.
