Mercredi dernier, je suis allé voir Afro Celt Sound System à l'interceltique de Lorient. Bon concert mais bien trop fort, des basses à vous couper la digestion et surtout les cornemuses, synthés et flûtes à vriller les tympans, jusqu'à me rendre mal à l'aise. J'ai écrit au management et c'est l'ingé son qui m'a répondu :

Hi Jean-Luc

Thank you for your email. I was the person mixing the front of house sound at Lorient, and I can assure you that at all times the level was less than what I was told was the maximum permissable level.

We have had a very positive reaction to the show - yours is the first negative comment received.

My take on it was that as it was approaching 1am it was inevitable that some of the older and more tired audience members would be leaving. That was what I saw. You can't please everyone, and I don't compromise either our music or the enjoyment of the majority for the sake of a couple of people who maybe aren't suited to the environment.

I'm very sorry if you didn't enjoy it. When I see a band I generally carry earplugs with me so I can arrive at a comfortable level for myself if it's too loud - maybe you could try that next time?

Regards

 En gros je suis vieux et fatigué et j'avais qu'à mettre des bouchons d'oreilles. Mais s'il baissait un peu, je n'aurais pas besoin des-dits bouchons ! Alors c'est quoi l'intérêt de mettre aussi fort ?

Notez que le monsieur ne sait pas vraiment la limite légale : "less than what I was told was the maximum permissable level. "
