Recordist's notes
It's raining, on a cold Friday afternoon in the forest, in January, and there is a pipe, going from the gas-fired power plant to a fibre producing factory nearby. They supply them with heating energy. But the factory has recently closed. Is that why it's rumbling in the pipe? I have no idea, but the strange sounds came from inside the metal pipe. Will bring a contact mic next time. Recorded on a Sony PCM D100, panoramic mic
