Field Notes & Observation
1 hour of authentic gentle wave sounds, recorded on a quiet little beach on Gillinge, a small island in the Stockholm Archipelago, Sweden (that has only two year-round residents!)
My initial plan was actually to record at another location on the island, but on my way there (4 AM, alone in the forest) I heard the angry squeal of a wild boar, which motivated a hasty retreat and a last-minute change of plans.
I set up my gear and started recording at around 5 AM on this peaceful summer morning. Gentle waves roll onto the shore while the archipelago slowly wakes up. From time to time, you can hear a protective swallow (or is it maybe a little ringed plover?) calling as it flies nearby.
