Recordist's notes

Recording of the sea at La-Tranche-Sur-Mer beach, walking during 2,5 kilometers going east. As the beach is a curve, there's variation. It's low tide, the sea is very quiet. Some children are playing in the water. Also, there's very very much wind, as often at the sea. Recording is altered but I think it's important as the sea feeling is also the iodized wind.
