Recordist's notes
As part of an investigation of the soundscape of William Wordsworth's 'Michael' I visited Green-head Ghyll and made recordings of the flowing water. This recording was made by placing the blimp just above the surface as the water passed between two small boulders. The microphone was an AT4025. The recording device was a Sound Devices 722.
