Description
Recordings of birdsong, weather and working life made across the Upper Valley by a midwife.
Provenance
Sent to Lazarus by post, with a note asking whether anything could be saved. The tape was sticky with binder breakdown and was baked at low temperature before a single careful read. Independent reads agree bit for bit.
