Recordist's notes
The Samangeum Seawall (새만금 방조제) was completed in 2006 and extends out into the West Sea. Arriving at night we could hear a constant, very dense and largely undifferentiated sound coming from activity out to sea although there were few lights visible on the ocean. The seawall is near the large port of Gunsan. A continuous recording was made, and various filters have been applied so as to explore aspects of the sound that was recorded.
About the place
Gunsan is a city of about 264,656 people in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea.
