Recordist's notes
Walking on the glacier to record sounds of the ice thawing in summer. I approach streams carved into the ice during some video shots of a documentary: it's possible to listen to some voices on the set. Tascam DR-100 MKIII, built-in unidirectional microphones, 96, kHz, 24-bit stereo wav converted to 320 kbps mp3.
