Abondance Cowbells Mont du Grange
Body
This is a recording of cowbells on Abondance breed cattle on the slopes of Mont du Grange, France. The recording was made in July. Herders will select bells sometimes for specific harmonies or note combinations. I attribute authorship to an anonymous herder for this recording due to the unique bell selection. After recording a couple dozen herds in the area, I found this particular bell combination to be unique and somewhat haunting. It was late afternoon, the herd was laying down and ruminating.
