Recordist's notes

depending on how you listen I recommend setting your speakers or headphones louder than usual for this recording. longer take at the edge of a forest and a very large field, which was covered by a dense fog. it was as if one was surrounded by sounds but you could not see their source, they were placed as if in a void. after 6 minutes mark, a bird appears by the recorder placed on the branches and hooks it with its beak, hectically flying around it. I wasn't aware of it until I listened to the recording as I was a few meters away, looking at the field. Ambience of icy and foggy noon in the riverside area east of Srem, woodpecker, a group of people appearing from the fog with their dog. (roland r-07)
