Recordist's notes

«April 18, 05:45, Lake Petres, Amyntaio, Greece. Perched upon a modest hill, I survey the landscape before me, where leafless trees stand in front of a serene lake. A congregation of cormorants occupies the branches of these trees. My elevated position on the hill resembles of an amphitheater. The sound, enveloping me, appears to lack a discernible center. The sound, enveloping me, conjures images of a boat navigating the waves. The Artwork created exclusively for the album by the artist Evita Voudouri. Aknowledgments to: Evita Voudouri and Yiorgis Sakellariou.» - Alexandros Hdjitimotheou Support my album by buying a copy from here: https://alexandroshadjitimotheou.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-black-cormorant-chanthttps://alexandroshadjitimotheou.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-black-cormorant-chant
