Summary, in English

The original sound source was part of my field recording regarding my project about lighthouses. I had a chance to meet and interview a lighthouse keeper in Spain; we talked about different soundscapes in the ports nowadays, even though some lighthouses keep functioning visually. An operating foghorn is not mandatory anymore in the EU, therefore most lighthouses don't use it anymore. The lighthouse keeper was very kind and re-triggered for me the foghorn circuit, which is located underneath the lighthouse and which produces a morse-code sound (PP : Porto Pi) through a large horn situated 1km away at the entrance to the port.

The 1 minute of sound consists of layers of two clips of different lengths: the foghorn at the Porto Pi port, and a circuit lever which triggers the compressor but which is physically in a remote place from the actual sound. As the foghorn generates the sound in a certain frequency, overlaid self-originated tracks intermittently generate resonant effects and it amplifies itself.
