Recordist's notes
Here are the cables inside the lamppost clanging in the wind as they sound when you pass by, with all the traffic and noise and wind from around as well as the magnificent clanking sound. Sorry about the wind, I was using a little wind fluffy on the EDIROL R-09 but the breeze was a bit much for it.
