Via: Karosta, Latvia.
According to the Russian Orthodox calender, January 7 is Christmas. We were lucky enough to have one of the largest Orthodox cathedrals in Latvia, dating back to the turn of the century, standing 100 meters from our door, so we braved the cold for a midnight mass. This ear-mount binaural recording captures three conceptual spaces within this church: the performance space, where priest and choir carry out their mysterious rituals; the social space, where common people come together to whisper, shuffle their feet, sniffle from the cold and even forget to turn off their mobile phones; and finally the acoustic space, where the architectural reverberations create characters of their own.
