Sennheiser MKH 416 P48, Sound Devices MixPre-6. September 2023. No edit.
Recording made in the middle of a peat bog, listening to birds at the edge of the forest. The recording is suddenly interrupted by the warning siren from the Esrange Space Centre, as the bog is only a few kilometers from Zone A - the zone constitutes an impact area for sounding rockets launched from Esrange, 40 kilometres, east of Kiruna.
