Recordist's notes
A sudden downpour at the Sope Creek paper mill ruins. The recorder was sheltered from the rain by a cutout in the stone structure of the historic paper mill (presumably a window hole). The creek is audible under the sound of rain falling, and some faint voices are heard in parts of the recording. The site is next to a road, so some vehicle sounds are also present. It was recorded with a hi-pass filter engaged, and some minor eq was done in post. [Tascam Dr-100mkiii w/ onboard uni mics & wind muff]
