It was a dark and rainy night

AL AIN -- I made this recording (2007) using a simple Olympus micro digital recorder, wrapped in a zip-lock bag. The recording was done in the evening hours in Asharej district, near Twam hospital. There are six natural sounds, and one mechanical sound, that make up this "sound composition" recording. If you listen to the recording in it's entirety, 4 min. 19 sec., you'll hear the sound of rain, a human voice, a cat's meow, wind, thunder, a bird's chirp, and finally a (somewhat broken) music-box mechanism that I found in the wet sand. Enjoy.
