Recordist's notes
As the wind holds on to the many leaves of the bamboo forest the submerged rhizome remains seemingly unmoved. The stems' hollow squieking sounds make the united being seem so fragile. Still it would probably outlast many of its human and more-than-human cohabitants during a proper storm. Zoom H4n
