Recordist's notes
I ofter return to the favourite listening places. Especially if it is some abandoned object, half decayed buildings, relicts from soviet era. The abandoned metallic watertower hidden amongst the trees - it is practically unseen in summertime. And it stands like some almost alien monster in winter's landscape. The sound study. Small omnis placed inside of pipe and contact mics on the body of tower.
