Recordist's notes
Another experiment with long recordings. This one is a local train ride in real time through sleepy Suffolk from Woodbridge to Saxmundham. There are voices, announcements and train sounds ending with passengers leaving the train and suitcases being trundled along the pavement in Saxmundham. Recorded with a MixPre 6 II and two Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a rucksack.
