Recordist's notes

A recording from within Robert Morris' monumental piece of Land Art 'Untitled'/'Johnson Pit #30'. Created out of a defunct gravel pit, 'Johnson Pit #30' was long situated in the middle of farmland. With encroaching development pollution (both in the traditional sense and as sound pollution) has taken its toll on the work. Part of a series of field recording in Earthworks/Land art.
