Recordist's notes
The recording was made on the banks of the Warta River. Large ice floes floated, rubbing against and colliding each other, making crunchy, slushy, lush sounds. Some sounds from the nearby villages of Orkowo and Czmoniec. There were a few people in the fields nearby and their activities can also be heard - sleigh rides, sleds, dogs accompanying them. In the grove next to the river, some bird activity could be heard. A delicate, indefinable clatter can be heard throughout the recording. (Tascam RF-AV2 + LOM Uši Pro)
