Beach Sunset #3

About this recording

A real evening on Khao Lak beach on Thailand's Andaman coast: gentle rain drifting over the sea, then the sky clears, the sun drops under the clouds and turns everything pink, then the waves through the night that followed. Twelve hours for sleep.

The picture was filmed on 17 October 2026 on Michel's older Sony camcorder, on a tripod at Khao Lak beach in Phang Nga, from just before six in the evening. It is one shot that never moves. The video opens with the whole evening as a short time-lapse, then plays it in real time until it gets dark, at about five past seven.

The sound was recorded by Michel's Tascam recorder a little behind the camera, with a wind cover on, from four minutes to six that evening until four minutes to six the next morning, 17 to 18 October. First the rain on the sea, then the waves on the beach through the whole night. The twelve hours you hear are that one night, start to finish.

Michel's voice, on two visits to the camera, and a few distant boats and one motorbike were replaced with waves from the same night, about forty-eight minutes in all, most of it boats passing at dawn, after five in the morning.
