Recordist's notes

Recorded with a Zoom H2N at a sample rate of 44.100Hz, using the Mid-side mode. The recording was performed at a monastery built at the end of the majestic agiofarago gorge. Inside there is a huge door made out of steel, kind of like a prison cell door, that makes a tremendous sound. I used it as a percussive instrument to make this recording. The recorder was placed on the door.
