Recordist's notes

This recording is part of an investigation into the close-season soundscape of football pitches on the route between Brightwell-cum-Sotwell and Winslow. The investigation is entitled 'Travel! The corridor of uncertainty' and is part Get Rid! a project exploring the sounding cultures of grassroots football. Little Milton Playing Fields are no longer used for football but at one time there were two 11-a-side pitches here running parallel from north-west to south east. This recording was made using a Sound Devices 722T and an AT4025B.
