Video-Sample:

The talempong batu from Talang Anau, district of Limapuluh Kota, province West Sumatra

Recording date: 15.04.1995
by: Uwe U. Pätzold
Recording Equipment: Video-Camcorder Sony CCD V 6000 E (Hi-8) on tripod, Wide-Angle Converter Hama HR 0,5, 2x Microphone AKG C 1000 S on 2 tripods, 2x20 m Klotz-cable (XLR to Cinch), LCD Color Monitor Sony XV-M30E. Digitizing and finish of the video- and audio-materials on a Macintosh PPC 8500/120 (160 MB RAM) with Adobe Premiere 4.0 software in the "digitize-to-RAM" mode, which yields a considerably high data flow of about 7,8 MB/sec. Except of effects caused by the different digitalisation-rates and the fade in & outs no kind of sound-manipulation (filtering, blending, excerpting etc.) was done to the recorded material.

Information: This is not the same recording-take that was examined by Christoph Louven. For reasons of general impression and data amounts as well I prefered to choose a summary take of the recording for this article. Unfortunately this part of the recording shows some slight clippings on "batu No.2" and "batu No.4". The recording-takes examined by Christoph Louven were mistakeless material.
