Recordist's notes
Recorded with Zoom H4N with external hydrophone. The clip consists of three clips with different hydrophone placement as below: 1. Hydrophone was placed below ground in the 3/4" black granite gap where water drains in the basin, around 2-3 inches below the water surface. 2. Hydrophone was placed at the same location, but just beneath the water surface. 3. Hydrophone was placed below ground, in the gap between the metal grate directly under the waterfall and the black granite tile.
