Recordist's notes
Standing at the corner of the island facing the archipelago and the Fisherman's Village, this recording was taken at midnight. There was a huge crescent moon overhead. There were dozens of sleeping dogs lying all around me in the sand. There was a breeze coming off the ocean. In the recording you can hear all of the prayers from different mosques on the archipelago. Recorded with a Zoom H4.
