Recordist's notes
Waves on the beach at Fao Fao Beach Fales. The ever present roar of the surf on the outer reefline setting the background. The Dummy head mic facing sewards. There were coconut palms along the shore, although it is hard to judge if any of the rustling of the leaves in the sea- breeze is actually audible. Recorded with a Sound Devices 702 field recorder and a modified Crown - SASS setup incorporating two Sennheiser mkh 20 microphones.
