Recordist's notes

Recording of a waterfall. From some perspective, this could be perceived as a "broken recording", but I guess this is exactly the situation, where unwanted elements sound quite interesting and fit pretty well. The recorder was placed too close to the waterfall, thus big droplets from splashes were hitting its boxing. Recorded with Sony PCM D100 Author's website: https://piotrekzyla.com
