Mache's Terre de feu, 2nd version

This is more musique concrete. It's different, however, because it uses completely unpitched sounds. They're difficult to place, but I'm going to try with at least some of them. The first rumbling could easily be a motor slowed down. Then there are some backwards sounds that I can't really figure out, and something that sounds like metal rattling, and something that sounds like a zipper. The rattling metal sounds a little like a cow bell and/or the little chimes on christmas ornaments, something that makes lots of noise but no real pitch. I also hear something that could be water tricking or bubbling, and maybe some water drops (this is about half way through) At about four minutes in I hear things that sound like something plucking metal, then some more moving water, which quickly turns into something kind of high pitched and shrill. It made me think of bats a little, of that shrill squeaking kind of sound. There's still no sense of tonality.

I think La terre de feu or the land of fire is not quite appropriate for the song. The song makes me think of water and rain or falling rocks (those tinkling bell sounds) like in an earthquake, but not of fire. I think I would need to hear really dramatic sounds like something reminscent of an explosion or lava or something to think of fire. And I still think part of it sounds like bats flying startled out of a cave. A cave! That's what these sounds are like! A dark, wet cave.
