Recordist's notes

A study in layers: the irregular, organic rhythm of rain hitting glass contrasted with the steady, synthetic click of a plastic clock. Recorded in a living room in London. The exterior world is blurred by weather; the interior world is measured by a cheap mechanism. Recorded from a stationary position with a Zoom H6 placed directly on the windowsill.
