Recordist's notes
A late afternoon in Vatlestraumen on the outskirt of Bergen, Norway. There was next to no wind for the first time i ages, so I ran out to do some recording of a narrow fjord. Vatlestraumen is a busy route in and out of Bergen harbor, so you can hear both smaller crafts, and bigger ships in this relatively short recording. There is also a nearby airport, and a bridge. You can also hear some birds in the background Recorder: Zoom H6 Mic: 2x Røde M5 MP in Wide Stereo close to the water Resolution: 96k/48 - (320 MP3 for this upload) Normalized to -7.0 dB in post
