The 25 Abril bridge is a symbol for the Portuguese capital. Visible to tens kilometers around, it serves as a visual and noisy landmark. As we come closer, the buzz becomes stronger until it gets blatant, like the light from a lighthouse which becomes blinding when the coast is near. ~ Farol est le portrait sonore d’une architecture monumentale. Ce field recording nous emmène au cœur du pont du 25 avril, emblème de Lisbonne. Visible à plusieurs dizaines de kilomètres à la ronde, il sert de repère à la fois visuel et sonore. À mesure qu’on s’en approche le bourdonnement se fait plus fort jusqu’à devenir éclatant, comme la lumière d’un phare devient aveuglante lorsque la côte est proche.
