REEL 4 COMMENTARY

1. Good rhythms, same beat throughout, but with occasional changes internally. Some interesting changes in tempo. An obvious slowdown towards end (18'00").

2. 0-tone and 45" of silence before take begins. Finishing of process.

3. Wind blowing through door, it sings. Churning begins (40"). Note different rhythm and spectrum of this churn. Occasional whispering of recordists audible. As process continues, sound quality changes.

4/5. High frequency rustle, very little wind in microphone. Good takes, very relaxing.
