Recordist's notes
At Strandstation 2, utility building at the beach, there was a stand with small, yellow, cone-shaped containers that you could take to the beach to have a place to dispose of cigarette butts. Since there was practically no one on the beach at that hour, the containers had been set aside on the stand. I recorded their lids bouncing in the wind. You can also hear a padlock on a chain clanging against the metal gate of that building and a runner passing by, panting. (Tascam FR-AV2 + LOM Uši Pro)
