Recordist's notes

Recorded in the afternoon next to a stepped fountain in the park. The main sound is running water going down the steps, with small splashes. There are also some weak voices and traffic in the background, but the water is the focus. I used a Sony voice recorder and held it close (without touching the fountain) to capture the water clearly, and kept my hands steady.
