Recordist's notes
In an underground mine, I heard a strange sound of me walking. I stoped and tried again and again. In a very specific place, if I beat the ground with my boot, there's a strange like-a-tube reverb. It's because of the tunnel form. My friends were 2 meters beside and heard nothing. When they went to the place and beaten the ground their turn, it was working. Only the person beating can hear it and 10 centimeters further, there's nothing. Recorded binaural with Lu-hd mics and strictly unedited.
