Recordist's notes
Leave the cabin on a bitterly cold 5am in the San Juan Islands (Washington). Walk toward the dock, stopping at a loose metal sign. Surprise a sleeping blue heron. Step on a loose board. End on the dock to the gamelan chorus of sailboat riggings in the wind. This is a longer version of the recording that was issued on the Phonography.org 4 compilation. www.discogs.com/Various-Phonographyorg-4/release/552411 See also: https://anode1.bandcamp.com/track/snug-harbor-2
