Recordist's notes
As I began to mark the lines the paint wheel in the container wouldn't turn. I tried to get it to move by rolling the marker backwards and forward but eventually had to turn it manually to get it started. I recorded this with Soundman Binaural Microphones and an Edirol R-09HR. There is quite a lot of sound of me breathing which I don't usually like but I guess that it proves I was there!
