Recordist's notes

Description: A recording along the pebble beach at St Leonards-On-Sea. The soundscape is defined by the gentle, rhythmic pulling of small waves rolling across the stones, creating a distinct clattering texture. In the foreground and midground, the voices of children are captured as they play in the surf and attempt to untangle a caught fishing line. Recorded with a Tascam DR-05X. 22°C and Partly Cloudy, 12.7 km/h.
