The Level Stress recordings: Älvdalen_90

PID

Recording equipment The recordings were done by means of a cassette recorder (Sony TC-D5M) and Sony lavaliere microphones. They were digitized in the 1990s. The set consists of two speakers, father and grown-up daughter. The original full recordings have been lost, and they are therefore reconstructed from a series of single files saved into one wav file.

The speakers The two speakers, born in 1921 and 1944, were recruited with the help of the Swedish linguist Gunnar Nyström, who has a thorough knowledge of Dalarna and the Dalarna dialects. At the time of recording, they lived in the villages of Karlsarvet and Brunnsberg. A third speaker was also recorded, a man born in 1921, but due to his weak voice, extremely non-fluent reading and background noise generated by some technical failure, this recording has not been included in the collection.
