Our heart goes out to Paris on the loss of so much history. There are no words to describe what we felt yesterday watching Notre Dame burn, so here is the sound of a drawing of it as a tribute instead.
In 2005, our Director and Chief Curator paused outside of Notre Dame to make a quick sketch of its facade, and recorded the sound of the drawing being made.
Here is the sound of that drawing, presented unedited and unprocessed.
