Recordist's notes
Air pushed through a vent pipe by the waves under the new pedestrian peer in Cais Do Sodre, Lisbon, Portugal. Background sounds of sea gulls, engine, people chatting. Originally, I thought it was a sound art piece as there are many of these vents singing on the peer, but Ive seen similar structures elsewhere. Recorded with a Zoom H5 with the standard XYH-5 head. Slight low frequency cut to remove excess wind noise and very light mastering.
