Recordist's notes

A windy afternoon in the beech forest in Oriolo Romano (World Heritage Site). Very few people around for the strong winds, a lot of bird calls in this late spring, some wild animal (boars? foxes?) stepping around in the undergrowth. Recorded with a pair of Clippy EM272 into Tascam DR100 MKII. The microphones has been hang at about 2.5 mt height on the opposite sides of a big three trunk (to reproduce a better stereo effect). No invasive editing apart of cutting and small 40Hz rolloff due to the strong wind despite the wind protections.
