Recordist's notes
Complicate sound. While I was sleeping here at night, I wished to record the deaf sound of the uninterrupted ballet of container ships. In aim to smother the sea sound and to maximize the sound of the boats, I put the recorder inside the sleeping bag and put volume level to high. Result is a strange sound, probably not exactly the truth, but notwithstanding representative.
