Recordist's notes
High west is named by its sharp and steep outlook, despite its 50m wide peak. South cliff is a rock climbing hotspot. Viewing the sky above Victoria Harbour, the major route for aeroplanes, you can hear the songs by the giant metallic birds and little nature birds, as well as the construction sound in the city at noon. 西高山曾有炮台山及摩天嶺之土名,其尖削陡峭的外形,卻有闊50米的山頂,故有西高之名,南面禿頂亦是攀岩熱點。維多利亞港之上乃飛機主要航道,錄音正值中午,不時聽到金屬巨鳥與自然小鳥的對比,亦可聽到都市建築中的聲音。
