I imagine the recordings are in Chiang Mai at the EFEO
library, but since F.Bizot spent much time in Paris in recent
years (now he is back in CM, it is a long story) then he may
have left them at the EFEO library there. I have only met him
a couple times, and never asked him about this subject. You
can go and ask him, but many EFEO members are back in Paris
right now for a big meeting (I think its on June 20th, but I
am not sure). I would also be interested in listening to them,
because they are probably related to the Saddavimala rituals
in which chanting from the Kaccayana was used for ritual
development of new fetuses at the time of death. He does offer
a description of these rituals in his 1996 EFEO publication
(with F.Lagirarde) on the Saddavimala (Purete...). The Mun
Kajjai (as its called in Laos and sometimes in Cambodia) was
often pulled apart and used for funerary/birth rituals. I plan
to chair a panel on this topic next year at the AAS meeting in
Boston. If I find out more, I will let you know.
Best,
