Recordist's notes
I have been exploring the soundscape of my commute and listening specifically in my car along my most regularly driven route - the A4074. This is the sound inside the car in the middle of a windy and rainy storm, with the wind buffeting the vehicle and the passing wash of the traffic. It's a bit low as I had the mics down quite low to cope with the hardcore rumble of the road.
