Recordist's notes
In the middle of the floodplain on a spring day in the late afternoon. The vast space is defined by the birds' soundscape. The nearby Danube and the adjacent infrastructure and industrial facilities provide the space with a dramatic backdrop. Above it all, as always, the sound of aircraft. An experience of space within space.
