Recordist's notes

With normal ears it is rather difficult to hear the river Vltava at Braník as traffic noise from the autobahn on the opposite bank continuously drowns out most quieter sounds including water ripples, rowing boats and kayaks. However, at some spots small waves breaking on stones at the river's edge are audible. Here the landing stage creates water eddies and gurgles that are audible. At the end the wind ruffles the microphones.
