Recordist's notes
Calm sea waves were recorded with a stand in the water. Unfortunately, it was a bit too windy, and there were plenty of moments that could be considered as broken recordings, but as it is part of the synchronized recordings - I think it is worth sharing a whole bundle. AB stereo recording (60cm) made with Sennheiser MKH 8020 on Sound Devices MixPre-6 II. Author's website: https://piotrekzyla.com
