Canalside in a Tamil village, women bashing their laundry on the steps beside a low bridge. Boys chatting, yelling, diving and swimming. Wind in the trees and shrubs, occasional vehicle on bridge, and birds.

Some typical sounds from the Fishmarket in Chintadripet area of Chennai. The Tamil accent is different, the share autos sound different, the crows are familiar though. You can also hear the steady chopping off of fishheads and filleting on wooden blocks.

Nilam 003

Recorded on the 18th of July in Châteaurenard, France. I am not a big fan of this sort of bullfighting. But having gone there as part of the film crew, pulled out my recorder to grab some atmos.

You can hear the band playing "The March of the Toreadors", cicadas in the trees above, crowds talking in (I suppose) Occitan, crowd clapping and cheering, and towards the end of the track, the picadors' horses.
