Recordist's notes
Selections from a 14-hour-long overnight recording session from a balcony facing a forest. On these recordings, one can hear huge differences between the gear and stereo technique - the nuances on the close-up recordings of waves weren't that enormous from my perspective. AB stereo recording (60cm) made with Sennheiser MKH 8020 on Sound Devices MixPre-6 II. Author's website: https://piotrekzyla.com
