Sea bubbles

This recording was taken when the tide was out, so the light patch you can see in the image was a big pile of chalky white rock, built up (I think) to break the waves and slow down the erosion of the cliffs. For this recording the mics were placed within the pile of rocks, near the surface of the water. Because of the weird spaces in between the rocks it gives the sound a strange 'trapped' quality, mutes the sound of the sea and waves, and the loudest sounds are the bubbles and gurgles as the sea tries to find a way between the rocks. It was a bright day on land but foggy over the sea, so you can hear a fog horn sounding at intervals of just over a minute. (zoom H4n internal mics)
