Recordist's notes

The boundary between residential zones and a plot of undeveloped land. During the rainy season, the earthen landscape transforms into green vegetation dotted with large pools of water. One hears local wildlife adapted to the wet conditions, mingled with the distant sound of vehicles on nearby streets. A record of the boundary prior to urban expansion. I made this recording on july 19, 2026, at 8:30. I used a Tascam DR-05X with its built-in microphones and a Tascam WS-11 windshield. Original Recording: Format: WAV 24bit Sample: 96k Type: Stereo Entre el campo en tiempo de lluvias y el asfalto. Límite perimetral de zona residencial y un terreno rústico. En temporada de lluvias el paisaje de tierra se transforma en vegetación verde con grandes charcos. Se escucha la fauna local adaptada al agua combinada con el paso distante de vehículos en las calles contiguas. Registro de la frontera previa a la expansión urbana. Esta grabación la hice el 19 de julio, 2026 a las 8:30 horas. Usé un Tascam DR-05X con sus micrófonos incorporados y un parabrisas Tascam WS-11. Grabación original: Formato: WAV 24bit Muestra: 96k Tipo: Estéreo
