Recordist's notes
It's a sunny Sunday in September, but the cool autumn morning air is setting in. We've just finished breakfast on the terrace, and I notice the birdsong is louder than it has been in recent weeks. The neighborhood is quiet. Only a few planes pass overhead to disturb the gentle, calm atmosphere. Recorded with a Zoom H5 and its XY microphone.
