BJM01-035 - A conversation between two downriver neighbours

Full description

A conversation primarily between two middle-aged men, Ishan (M, 51) and Darsono (M, 58). The two men are sitting in Darsono's front room under his house. Both of them were wearing separate Shure SM10A headset microphones, and they all used Tascam 60-D recorders. A Marantz PMD670 and a Audio-Technica AT875 Stereo Microphone were used to record the entire speech situation. A Canon Vixia HFM500 camcorder with a Rode VideoMic Pro Camera-Mount shotgun microphone was used to video record the entire speech situation. I was looking to record with other people when I went to the rice paddies on the downriver side of Karang Tanding. I came across Ishan coming home from his rice paddy with a basket full of black pepper that he had just picked. He agreed to record, and we asked his neighour, Darsono, to record with him. They sat in the front room and talked for a little over an hour. There are two points in the conversation where Ishan's wife, Merlaini, brings the men coffee and Darsono's wife, Masdiana, comes home. The recording quality is overall very good. However, Ishan does move his head mounted microphone quite a bit. By the end of the recording, it is very far from his mouth.. Language as given: Besemah
