Recordist's notes
Again recorded from 4am but this time the microphone rig is on the other side of the roof facing west towards the Malvern Hills a few hundred yards away and rising to around 1000 feet at this point. The roof has another feature facing the right hand mic which seems to produce an effect visible on the computer. At 9'47" my neighbour about 30 yards away across the road comes out to collect his milk and says "Morning Birdies" which stops all the most local bird calls for a time. Around 23'00 I think that is the Muntjac trying to make itself heard.This is another experiment with overnight recordings of longer duration. MixPre 6 II with 2 x Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a home made wind baffle. 32bit x 48k
