REEL 6 COMMENTARY

1. Two sets of 4 bells. Bruce running with them in circle (away from and toward microphones, 2x). Almost like a horse!

2. Horse whinnying at beginning.

3. Quiet wind ambience with people talking in background. Insect "zips" by microphone (2'56").

4. Wind on microphone at beginning, horse whinnying while approaching, eating wheat (1'00"), buckets rattling. Shaking of sleigh bells toward end (5'20").

5. Bells approaching, disappearing in distance (lx).

6. Entering shed.

7. Short disturbance on left channel (0'45"). Wind rising and falling, producing interesting pitches, makes door creak and rattle. Very quiet ambience otherwise.

8. Recordists talking at beginning, note "wooden" interior and muffled voices, lots of shuffling, no wind.

9. For long stretches very little wind, then strong gusts with door rattling and creaking. Insect "zips" by microphone, followed by horse whinnying (9'35"). Horse whinnying several times (14'40").
