Recordist's notes
standing under a huge wind turbine at midnight. it was totally dark, only a red blinking warning light at the top of the tower poorly illuminated the structure and the ground around it. the swoosh of the enormous propeller together with the ripping wind were breathtaking and pretty scary. at the same time the sound was very hypnotic. the wail of the turbine went up and down as if a plane was landing and taking off.
