Recordist's notes

Walking through an old and abandoned railway track, I noticed a far, but strong strange sound. It was a big irrigation system having trouble. A valve was broken. Water made a strong gusher. Just after I finished recording, the farmer went and made an urgent repair. This water flowing is quite like Martians speaking to humans, making incomprehensible talking bubbles, it's strange.
