For supporters of the project that they had lost, below the article by Sergio Gabossi on "Project Fontane," published in the Journal of Brescia Wednesday, December 8, 2010, page. 22.
Regarding the article, however, is appropriate to make some clarifications, in particular where it says: "Technically we seek the so-called white noise, that noise is often the basic covered by a myriad of other noises. " In fact, the white noise, simplifying, is the sum of all the noise possible, and then heard a noise and perceived as a nuisance. Basically, just what we strive to avoid during the recording.
also an objective of our work, displayed in the Project published on this blog and Facebook group profile does not appear to take a census of the fountains camunnian, however interesting and useful thing, but for which qualifications would be needed which was not available. Well, to each his task.

Page water fountains Valcamonica
The unique work of Stefano Berardi that records the sounds of fountains and sinks.
have a passion for the sounds of water in search of the perfect vibration.
Then, with a high fidelity system, reproducing the "voice" of each fountain, knowing that the effect is to stamp a unique and unmistakable: the sound of the fountains.
Stefano Berardi and his team to "hear" the sound you are pushed into a unique experiment: have sought the fountains of the oldest Valcamonica, I heard the "song" by creating a storehouse with the noise of the water because "a sound like that produced by a public fountain is unique and inadvertently influence the lives of those born and lives in that place, "says Stephen.
Together with Carlo Giordani, Ezio Martinazzi Romele and Alexander, visited districts, squares and alleys starting Cerveno, from Ono San Pietro, Lozio, Pescarzo angle and Spa looking for fountains to play.
Someone saw them arrive - histrionic ghostbusters with headphones - bent under trestles and rolls of wire, place a drop of water their "large directional microphones-condensed" and settle down in the front row to listen to the concert. "We choose only those in a continuous jet, the oldest and most important," says Stephen.
"So far we have heard at least a hundred and we have saved five minutes of each recording. Technically we are looking for the so-called white noise, noise that is basic and often covered by a myriad of other noises. "
Stephen explains that the recording system is a kind of seismograph and transmits even the slightest vibration in the headphone alien, the gust of wind rattling of a key.
"When we work on the fountains that are located on very busy streets we go at night and listen to the song of the water in the moonlight has a completely different charm."
Their work is pure romanticism: no funding, no financial support from public or surfed.
Stefano ensures that the voice of the fountains of Vallecamonica end up in a so-called because "if the public fountains in a few years will be gone and the water will no longer be a public good as it is today, we'll at least remember their sound." The unique initiative is undoubtedly very interesting ... be enhanced.
