Recordist's notes

Children recording themselves dropping & cracking small stones into a drain on a woodland path at school. Part of an Easter holiday sound workshop run by Gabrielle Fry, teaching children how to use equipment to appreciate and record sounds in familiar surroundings. Recorded using a Rode NTG-2 and Zoom H4N. This workshop was inspired by the seasonal sound walks project, run by DIVAcontemporary in Dorset, UK.
