Recordist's notes
Recording Cicadas in the Olive gardens of the Contemporary Art Museum in Seville. It was a very hot day, which makes the Cicadas make even more noise. This is the sound of Seville in the summer! I placed the microphones and then retired to distance, Cicadas often stop sounding when you are close to them. At 3:05 one cicada really starts screaming so stay tuned :) File - Wav, 48kHz, 24bit Recorder - Zoom H4N. Microphones - pair of Uši Pro by LOM, technique used; Spaced AB
