The audio begins with the rhythmic patter of hailstones against a skylight. The noise is steady and consistent, creating an immersive ambiance that instantly transports you to a room beneath the skylight. It's a field recording captured on April 14, 2003; the authenticity of the sound is palpable. As the hailstorm intensifies, so does the tempo of the noise, adding an element of drama. It's a raw and honest representation of nature's unpredictable weather patterns. The hailstones vary in size; you can hear the difference in their impact- some sound tinier, creating a high-pitched tinkling, while others are larger, resulting in a more resonant thud. The sound ebbs and flows, mimicking the natural progression of a hailstorm. There are moments of intense activity, where the hail seems to be falling in a rapid, almost furious manner. At other times, the storm seems to calm down a bit, the noise becoming more subdued
