Recordist's notes
The pond flora and fauna on a hot sunny April afternoon in Suffolk recorded with a hydrophone. Smooth newts investigate the microphone; a variety of lively oxygenating plants; unidentified low-frequency pulsing hum; vehicles pass by on the near by lane. https://sophiestandford.com/ https://sophiestandford.bandcamp.com/
