Recordist's notes

Recording from the garden on the edge of the village. Multiple microphones are placed permanently in the garden (Rode NT4, DPA 4060, contact microphones attached to gong[s] and wind-harp[s]). Simultaneously there is also WSi (=Weather Sensitive installation) consisting of a variety of wind-chimes (from metal, wood, bamboo, polystyrene, etc), "sound-flags" and wind-harps (air-harps) which are in constant decay and evolution, changed slowly over time according to intensity of the weather.
