Recordist's notes
Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, Svalbard islands. Recording with hydrophones in the stream of a tiny brook. Tascam DR100-MKIII, two hydrophones Jez Riley French d-series at about 50 cm distance; I used XLR impedance matching adaptors (transformer Lo-Z-Hi-Z: 200Ω-50KΩ). After 1'30 seconds right mic moves because transported by the stream to a different position. Wav 96 kHz, 24 bits, converted in MP3 320 kbps.
