Recordist's notes
Most Basin, North Bohemia These sounds were recorded in the area of the former village of Kopisty. Kopisty was demolished (in the 70's) to make way for the expanding mines and petrochemical industries. There are many kilometers of pipes in the landscape. There is black liquid tar flowing from these pipes. www.tomassenkyrik.com
