Recording market ambience in Marsaxlokk, Malta

Every Sunday morning people from all over Malta travel to the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk to buy fish and other daily products like vegetables or clothing. I arrived between 9:00 am and 10:00 am on a windy and cloudy day morning. To my surprise very busy!  Parking can be problematic so you either show up early or you drive to the very end of the market. 

I wasn’t expecting so many people but for ambience recordings it’s perfect. After I finally found parking I walked along the coast and recorded sounds at 12 different locations.

Whats sounds are recorded:

• fishermen repairing the fishnet
• seaside wave splash at the pier
• walla in different languages including Italian, English, and Malti
• behind the fish vendors, in front of the vendors, and between the visitors
• people bargain with the sellers and creating a lively and authentic atmosphere
• in front and behind of vegetable and clothing stores
• a couple of distance car pass by

If you’re looking for village market ambience including harbor vibes from Malta, or you need an overall market soundscapes including different European languages, this sound library has you covered.  

Everything was recorded with two Sennheiser MKH 8040 and the Zoom F6.
