Recordist's notes

Children chase their boats around the pond while adults talk. The low engine sounds at the end come from a Mustang from the classic car show close by. The rucksack with the recorder is on the floor by my feet while I sit on a bench eating lunch. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s 32bit x 48khz converted to stereo 320kbps MP3
