Recordist's notes

The sound of water splashing off the rocks beneath a rock tunnel under the cliffs east of downtown Porto Torres. The sounds of water flowing into a rock crevice, simultaneously being mingled with previous waves bouncing off the rock walls, creating a polyrhythmic pattern in which certain phrases occur in various arrangements. certain swishes and thumps occur distinctively. (Tascam FR-AV2 + LOM Uši Pro)
