river reccy 1 - aboard the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer

Went aboard the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer yesterday to do a Ri-zound reccy & record some field sounds.  The pistons and paddles make a beautiful subtle rhythm that will underscore our voices as we Ri-zound together along the Medway.  I've posted some close up recordings to share

here, it's pretty quiet around the boat so we'll be able to take in the whole soundscape of the river

as we sail.  Many thanks to the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer for their welcome.

Really looking forward to welcoming the Ri-zounders aboard on 11th June..
