During my latest visit to the US, I was in Salt Lake City to meet my fellow composer mate Joshua, who offered to take me on a hike on the mountains surrounding the city. It was hard going up, particular after 3 years of physical inactivity due to the various lockdowns, etc, but what presented itself to my eyes was absolutely worth the effort: a tranquil, crystal-clear mountain lake. Proceeding along the shoreline we reached a small waterfall that feeds the lake and of course I pulled out my Zoom H1n and recorded a good amount of the sound of the water. Some birdsong too managed to make it into the recording, so look out for unexpected surprises if you press down the keys long enough!
