The recording was made at 42°22'06.8"N 45°38'11.2"E in the village of Omalo, in Tusheti, the remote northern region of Georgia. It was made during a residency at AqTushetii, on 2 September 2018, at 11:25. It is 3 min 25 sec long. It is a recording of local shepherds moving a flock of sheep up the mountain along a dusty road, with the help of horses and shepherd dogs. It was recorded on a MixPre-6 with three microphones. A pair of spaced DPA 4660 omnis, and a RODE NTG-3 shotgun. Basic limiting was used in post to increase the loudness, but no other editing was made except fades at each end.
