Recordist's notes
underwater recording made just at the water's edge at the base of the ruined staircase, recorded with hydrophones. at 4:53 a large fish can be heard biting one of the mics. and the singing that follows is unexplained - it was not audible in the open air. all recordings on this spot were made within a few square meters' radius.
