Recordist's notes
I made this recording on the edge of paddocks playing field where the U7-U10 teams from Crowmarsh Youth play their home games. There was only one game taking place on this morning. When I was listening the sound of the match was a subtle disruption in the soundscape. Much of the recording takes place at half-time so there is just a little distant talking as audible evidence that the match is taking place. Throughout the recording the air resounds with the sound of air traffic. I made this recording on my Edirol R-09HR.
