Recordist's notes
Recording of the sea during one hour on the whales beach. At the beginning, teenagers are loudly playing. Just after I move on the right, behind big rocks. It's low tide. Waves are small, ambiance is quiet. Young children are playing on the beach or in the water. On the distant whales beacon, a storm thuds.
