Recordist's notes
An observatory hidden in the mountains, discovered by accident during a drive through Canada. One can visit the site alone by walking around outside the facility, thanks to a series of weather-worn boxes that playback audio recordings in French-Canadian or English explaining the history of the now closed observatory. This is one of the first boxes near the entrance of the place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Radio_Astrophysical_Observatory Recorded 16bit 44.1 kHz using an Olympus LS-10
