Recordist's notes
Annoying sound from underwater... I dropped the hydrophone in the river Ems, right in front of a facility that takes water from the river and transports it to the nearby nuclear power station for its cooling system. I wonder what the constant sound does to the fish in the river. At the end of the recording, there are strange distortion sounds. Don't know what it could be.
