Recordist's notes
Aufnahme des fliessenden Wassers der "Wandse", in einem Abschnitt nahe des Einkaufzentrum Rahlstedt. Der Fluss wird durch ein betoniertes Flussbecken geleitet, in dem große Steine liegen. Der Klang des Wassers hart und unnatürlich. Man hört, wie das Wasser am Beton. Das Mikrofon war 10 cm über der Wasseroberfläche und die Wassertiefe betrug ebenfalls ca. 10 cm. Aufnahme mit dem Olympus LS12 mit externem Triangel-MIkrofon mit AOM 5024 Electret-Kapseln. --------- Recording of the flowing water of the "Wandse", in a section near the Rahlstedt shopping center. The river is channeled through a concrete river basin in which large stones lie. The sound of the water is hard and unnatural. You can hear the water hitting the concrete. The microphone was 10 cm above the water surface and the water depth was also about 10 cm. Recording with the Olympus LS12 with an external triangle microphone with AOM 5024 electret capsules.
