Recordist's notes

This is a curious sound for sure, perhaps and most probably the strangiest I have ever made. During low tide, a lot of very small streams are going to the sea. But, the ground is a huge collection of round holes and barbs. Water falling in 2 successive holes makes this weird bubbles sound. It makes think it's a strange blablabla. Water is talking to us ! Wahahi wahahou ? Hahouwahahiw ? Perhaps it's because of the nuclear power plant just near the beach, martian contamined people speaks to the world ? I tried to translate, convinced there's a secret message. Waowl ? Wahouuhwahihouowlwlwlwl ? Hey, hey listen, water said Allahu Akbar. It's a sign, power plant is endangered ;-);-) Ok, I'm just silly ;-)
