Recordist's notes
Amble Pier ... pattering waves ... a structure under the pier separates a lagoon from the main stream of water ... incoming waves produce this skipping effect by lapping the metal stancheons ... two fishing boats disrupt the pattern ... then it returns ... recorded using a parabolic reflector ... just fascinated by this ...
