Notes from the sound guy:

Backåkra was Dag Hammarskjöld’s farm (if you don't know who he was, I won’t tell you that he was one of the world's foremost diplomats, who stood up for smaller nations in his role as UN Secretary General).

If you pass the field by the farm and continue across a low-growing meadow, you’ll see the sea in the horizon and a circular stone setting. It’s a place of meditation. The one that was built according to the instructions in Hammarskjöld's will. If you want, bring a pillow so you can sit more comfortably. 

My favourite sound in the recording: The little bird 50 minutes into the recording, which reminds me of a 90s hit I can't remember the name of.
