Recordist's notes
This tide/irrigation control gate has 5 large steel plate gates...they swing freely at the bottom end like free-reeds in a Sho or harmonica...one gate had an interesting modulating low tone happening, so I recorded the sound in the gap between the steel plate gate and the concrete housing structure of all 5 gates...
