Equipment Notes: Stereo=1; Decoded MS stereo; Sennheiser MKH40 Cardioid Mid Mic and MKH30 Bidirectional Side Mic. PANAMA DARIEN Logs Dat # 5 NOTE FOR AMBIENCE: NG = no good, do not use G = ok VG = very good E = excellent NOTE FOR CONTENT: * pretty good ** great *** outstanding **** must stopped at another outcrop -l¿eo approaching the guys see if anything worth discussing walking.... setting up the chatter about where to set up not going to be much different here..we could walk down there and we could record the bird sounds ... 00:58 on the boat...do we want to drift? AC: yes, let's drift lets get closer to that net. 1:18 -FX: birds chirping water lapping, CJ: just when we hit that corner there sound of the motor revving up muted yelling in Spanish, birds chirping.... 1:44 boat begins to go -revving of the engine, birds chirp louder, yelling in Spanish, setting up of the boat 1:50 man yelling in Spanish, rapids running. windy no good..... i didn't recognize the governor.....wind...rapids but wind in the background ruin the sound...wind, the muted sounds ... 3:15 leo: we can turn off the motor ... wind ruins all of this scraping noise... lapping of the water -an oar going through the water.... spanish/embera in the background muted ... speaking in Spanish/emberra...wind? waterfall.... intermitten laps of the water from an oar. chatting about the fishermen and the setting up of the nets..... bueno... speaking in spanish.... lapping of the water, the wind again, water fall sound, .. is it the rapids? they aren't going to pull the net for an hour 7:56 on land now walking to the outcrop....chipping and water noise, some wind 8:27 the scientists are walking... leo breath in the sound 8:48 FX G chiseling and banging away at the rocks, looking for fossils (?) sound of rocks falling into the gravel...gravel swishing around 9:05 ac: jj in the context of this place what does bingo mean? jj: yeah, well i thought i'd really found something. i'd found -i' d found see that large tured gastropod (?) which is broken in two pieces there's that and there's that and i thought ah, i found a place where they are going to be fresh enough there's a place 9:22 ac: these are, what i am looking at is this (loud -awful -scraping noise) can is um small seashells (9:30 chiseling in the background -¬looking for fossils) that look like the tail end of conchs 9:35 jj: yeah, snails and clams that... 9:37 chiseling continues ...there was a very rich fauna here clearly but it's all weathered the shells are very fragile (hammering in the background) ... FX tumbling of some gravel...if we um dig down into it we might find material that's good enough to collect one large bag of that could be washed and processed in the lab, but for larger snails and clams (hammering) the way you collect them well is that when you find them just sitting in the matrix of the outcrop and you pick them up one by one...water running, a bird chirping...and um there was a place somewhere along this river where we found a fair number of snails of a group we are interested in... (10:16 jj's voice get's muted a bit...other peoples voices heard in the background... ) but this is really (10:20 FX chiseling of the rocks) really not impressive at all (hammering, gravel noise) if this was a good outcrop (reaching for something, ...gracia electro) outcrop this can would be full in the first minute and i would go back and i would get a dozen cans and we would fan out over it and we'd fill them in half an hour....so i think there will be a sight which is ...
