Recordist's notes
A sound walk around the lake cruiser "Swift" as she leaves the pier at Bowness. The deep resonant sounds come from the azipod propulsion units through the steel hull and water of the lake. I had to move rapidly around the vessel to prioritise certain events and preserve the authenticity of the piece. Mostly the microphones were draped over the stern rail. 32bit x 48khz.
