Recordist's notes
The recording was made in August during monsoon with a Zoom H6. The rain has just stopped after being in its epitome throughout the evening. It was dark, quite late in the night according to local time. As the downpour rested, all the living inhabitants near the dense forest attached to the pond started to have a busy conversation among themselves. Two outsiders from the human world entered the forest, rested there and as one of them had a recorder, he interfered in their conversation silently with a recorder.
