Recordist's notes
recording of a simple transporting vehicle moving on a single rail. basically a motor that tows two carts. such contraptions are used commonly in this area by vineyard workers and construction workers to transport tools, materials and grapes up and down the hill. you can see it when you switch to street view. around 1:00-2:15 I recorded the resonating cover of the transporter. although the machine was already quite away the metal box was ringing, induced by the throbbing rail. later an excited american guy talking about the device, giving a thorough explanation how this machine works to his wife.
