Recordist's notes
Frioul is an isle in front of Marseille populated by very few humans and lots and lots of seagulls. There I recorded a sailing boat toed to the quay with a spaced pair of Clippys into my Zoom F3. This recording is particularly well suited for editing and experimentation i can recommend: playback at 1/2 speed or 1/4 speed (re-pitch mode), adding some Reverb (I like Springs) and some Saturation/Distortion. But you could also certainly enjoy it as it is.
