Recordist's notes
This is the sound of my friend's windchimes, and the lovely situation of us, and her Guide/Assistance Dog hanging out in the garden and listening to them. This is a quiet neighbourhood on the outskirts of Carrick, so you can just hear a bit of someone digging nearby, the birds in the trees and the swelling of the wind as it passes over. We shared some nice moments standing there, my friend smoking, the chimes chiming, the dog sniffing the recorder, and the sunshine shining, with just the tiniest chill in the air. Beautiful sounds, sorry for the bit of wind distortion here and there in the recording.
Context
