Recordist's notes

Nous avions établis le camp à coté d'un étang peuplé de grenouilles qui se sont mise à chanter toute la nuit. J'ai essayé de voir si elles me répondaient mais il semblerais qu'elles n'ai rien à faire des mes interférences acoustiques... Fun Fact: Elles se mettent cependant à chanter lorsqu'un train de marchandises passe au loin. A little pond next to the river Loire where we tried to sleep untill a bunch of frogs begin to sing. I was trying to induce them to sing, but they seemingly dont care... Fun fact: they begin to sing when freights trains passes /Oktava mk012 ORTF & SD mixpre & Zoom h4n //yponomeutaneko
