East Asia PhoNographic Mornings #11/25 Each Morning of the World #08 Discovery Bay ~ Lantau Island ~ Hong Kong « The free birds raise their voices » C-drík ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After coming back from Kowloon early morning, I arrived at Discovery Bay where dozens of birds where loudly singing, I decided to stay, listen and record. This field recording was made an early morning at Discovery Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong in 2014. The recording has been slightly edited (some of the low frequencies produced by some machineries have been filtered out). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C-drík ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Born in Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1972, Cedrik Fermont, known as C-drík or Kirdec, is a composer, musician, author, radio host, concert organiser based in Berlin (Germany).
