Fernando Ribeiro | Coronaradio, Vol. 1

01. Coronaradio, Vol.1 (33:45)

This compilation contains radio snippets collected during the worldwide lock-down caused by covid-19, between March and May 2020. You will hear a radio collage of 10 second intertwined blocks of chaotic, cacophonous and discordant sounds from the four corners of the planet: the evil virus named in more than 20 different languages, medical advice, governments reporting the daily numbers of deceased consumers, innovative advertisement targeting the emerging healthcare and home-office markets, the free-fall of the stock-markets, religious illumination and helpless prayers, exciting jingles, technical comments on the new surveillance smartphone APPs and above all a large portion of incomprehensible commentary made in languages alien to the compiler; but also samples of the ubiquitous low quality music that was not filtered in order to add a dose of reality to these strange times - after all, Mankind is yet to be extinguished, and if you listen carefully you might even catch a good sound. The compiler affirms the contemporaneity of the project by relying on the internet radio (the excellent platform radio.garden) rather than on the airwaves, due to the need to outpace the virus spread.

2. Retour de Pontempeyrat à Usson-en-Forez / Return from Pontempeyrat to Usson-en-Forez (11:46)

Ces enregistrements ont été faits lors de mon voyage à bord de l'autorail X 2807 du Chemin de Fer du Haut-Forez le 30 juillet 2019. L'association du CFHF, basée à Estivareilles (42), fait circuler des trains touristiques sur la partie réhabilitée de la ligne Bonson - Sembadel, reliant autrefois Saint-Etienne à la Haute-Loire en direction de la Chaise-Dieu et d'Ambert, ligne de montagne au profil difficile, au long de laquelle on découvre des paysages enchanteurs. Le premier enregistrement a été réalisé dans la cabine de l'autorail entre Craponne-sur-Arzon et Sembadel (Haute-Loire), aux côtés du conducteur. On perçoit le tintamarre caractéristique du moteur MGO de 825 cv et le klaxon, souvent actionné à l'approche des nombreux passages à niveau. Je remercie les bénévoles de l'association qui m'ont autorisé à enregistrer dans ces conditions exceptionnelles. Le second enregistrement a été capté pendant le voyage du retour entre Pontempeyrat où la ligne franchit l'Ance sur un impressionnant viaduc et Usson-en-Forez (42). Dans la remorque de l'autorail, les voix et les rires des passagers se détachent sur la "musique" du train, souvenir inoubliable des voyages de mon enfance.

These recordings have been done when I travelled on the X 2807 "autorail" of the Haut-Forez Railway on July 30th, 2019. The CFHF association runs trains on the remaining part of the Bonson to Sembadel line, that used to connect Saint-Etienne to Haute-Loire department, on the way to la Chaise-Dieu and Ambert, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France. This difficult moutain line runs through stunning landscapes. I recorded the first track in the conductor's cabin between Craponne-sur-Arzon and Sembadel (Haute-Loire). The typical hubbub of the 825 hp MGO engine can be heard, as the hooter often rings, warning from many level-crossings. I thank the volunteers of the association who allowed me to record in these exceptional conditions. The second track was taken during return between Pontempeyrat, where the line crosses Ance river on an impressive viaduct, and Usson-en-Forez (Loire). In the trailer, voices and laughs of the passengers blend with the train's "music", unforgettable memory of my childhood journeys.
