Recordist's notes
After waiting for months for my contact microphone to arrive (which i sent off the be fixed and got a replacement instead) due to postage difficulties, I was keen to get out and get some recordings! I should mention the photo on Google Earth at the time of me posting this is out of date and is a few years old. There is a different gate now, as well as all the vegetation behind being removed. Recorded with two JRF contact microphones (c-series) into a Tascam DR-680. soundcloud.com/jeremyhegge jeremyh.bandcamp.com/
