Grande Dixence
Slightly taller than the Eiffel tower, this dam is at the head of the Dix valley in the Swiss Alps. In the autumn, the larches turn yellow, contrasting beautifully with the imposing mass of grey concrete. After a 2-hour visit of the maze of corridors inside the dam itself, I was able to record the sound of water dripping, an old telephone ringing, rhythms made by knocking on walls and doors, the clicking of the camera, the sound of clapping, and the sweet sound of the kalimba, all enhanced by the most amazing natural reverb effect. I also included samples of an old documentary about this amazing monument completed in 1964, an amazing achievement realised in difficult conditions and without today’s modern machinery.
