Alan Courtis - Le Sel Binaire
D'hella Déra field recording processed by Alan
Courtis recorded at Buenos Aires Salitre Studios
2005/06. Material used : Ogrob salt recordings et
sel récolté à la main.
About the field recording :
Since it was put into production in 1972, and until
2002, it ranked among the potash mining area's top
sites thanks to the mining of 92 million tons of raw
salt.
Peaking at 75 meters its headframe was the
highest one in Europe. The shaft owed its
nickname "D'hella Déra" (Hell's Gates), the miners
gave to it, to the temperature that could easily rise
over the 50°C mark in the galleries.
The recordings have been carried out in September
2002. Attached to a halyard, a MT190 Sharp
minidisc recorder equipped with a Sony ECM-717
mic has been brought 200 meter deep down the
shaft. The shaft has been filled in end of 2002, the
headframe brought down and the site dismantled in
August 2003.
