Recordist's notes
It was at the end of the summer and it started to get cold after the sunset. The recording was done with a Zoom H6 and 2 microphones: Zoom SSH-6 (Shotgun mic) that was hiding in the bushes with the crickets and Shure Sm58 (Omnidirectional mic) some meters away. This is a raw version of the recording. There is a edited version on youtube with a time-lapse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3jEGsSsHvU&t=12s. Thank you!
