Recordist's notes

sounds of ants in their hill. someone had JrF contact microphones plugged into their zoom recorder and left headphones on the ground. recording is made by placing sony d50 mics into one of the earpieces of the headphones. the surrounding sound got picked up anyway. Chris Watson unwittingly cutting into my recording by talking to other workshop participants.
