Recordist's notes
Riverside meditation on the banks of the Thames at South Stoke on a sunny Tuesday afternoon. The wind rustling the bushes overhanging the river is layered with the sounds of pleasure boats and trains passing by, aircraft from nearby RAF Benson and Chiltern Aerodrome, and people relaxing in the gardens of the properties on the opposite side of the river. Recorded on a Tascam DR-40 using the on-board microphones (coincident pair) and windshield.
