Recordist's notes
Recorded at Newton Park using a Zoom H4 & its built in microphones. The recording is the result of placing the H4's mic capsules just inside the opening of a discarded piece of industrial grade plastic pipe. The pipe was left on grass verge & was approx 4m in length and approx 15cm in diameter. The pipe has since been removed.
