This audio recording captures the unique and distinct sounds of electrical bursts from a bug zapper positioned outside a cottage on a warm July evening in 2018. The audio opens with the faint hum of a summer's night, punctuated by the occasional rustle of leaves and nocturnal wildlife. Suddenly, an electrical zapper springs to life, crackling and buzzing as it goes about its business. Each zapping sound represents a bug meeting its end, creating an unusual, yet oddly rhythmic pattern of sounds. The electrical burst is sharp and sudden, echoing briefly in the quiet night before fading away. The pattern repeats intermittently throughout the recording, creating a sonic representation of a summer night's battle against bugs.
