Recordist's notes

recorded just as night was beginning. this was very close to the infamous bloomfield track and occasionally you can hear cars driving against the dirt road. walking along this road was very unpleasant as you would very quickly become covered in dust, and the leaves of the trees in the surrounding rainforest were also covered. recorded with an AT BP4025 into an Olympus LS-100. soundcloud.com/jeremyhegge jeremyh.bandcamp.com/
