Recordist's notes

Since 1783, means for Russians ever since, they come to recover on the Crimean seaside. Here you listen into sundried plants, insects and birds occupying this empty rotting away complex of beautiful sanatoria buildings. Then i take the zoom-recorder with me to bring it slowly closer to the beach, which is also left behind by tourism, only a few pro-annexion holiday-winners from russia promenade, the music is still playing for the memories of past summers full of consumption and joy.
