Recordist's notes

It was recorded in national Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, at the world folk music section. The very first time I visited this museum I was a bit sad at that time but once i sat at the one of interective screen to listen ethnographic recordings, one of the songs calm me down and made me very happy. It was mongolian milking songs to calm cows and yaks while milking them. As an interactive screen it had phone to listen through. So i put my Roland R-26 recorder close to this telephone and recorded those songs together with enviromental sounds of museum.
