Recordist's notes
Recorded on the edge of a big hole of Bilina Pit. This is the constant sound of machines from the coalmine. I hold my mics approximately one meter above the ground and also directly onto earth. The distance from the nearest machine was about 50 meters. Recording 4pm 12/09/2015. Equipment: Fostex FR2, 2x DPA4060, www.tomassenkyrik.com
