Recordist's notes
From pump 1, on the north side of the gas station, a video loop reverberates across the property as it issues forth from the other pumps' monitors. All is drowned out by the arrival and departure of snowmobiles. Boisterous young men can be heard. Other vehicles come, refuel and go. A late Saturday night at Saddle Up Gas & Grocery, on the east side of Bear Lake. Stereo mic (Audio-Technica, AT-822), recorded via Sony MD (MZ-NF810, pre-amp) and Tascam DR-60DmkII.
