Patio Fountain and Atmospheric Descent

A stationary recording from a high stone balcony overlooking a central patio at Mosteiro de Tibães. The soundscape is centered on a tiered stone fountain situated within a geometric garden of stone-bordered flowerbeds. The high, ochre-colored monastery walls create an enclosed acoustic chamber, capturing the echoes of distant voices and the bright, rhythmic splashing of the water. During the recording, a plane passes overhead, its low-frequency drone gradually descending in pitch and volume against the static water texture. Recorded with a Zoom H6 and Micbooster microphones placed directly on the granite balustrade. 21°C and Sunny, 5.9 km/h.
