Recordist's notes
Third part of the walk through the newly built and contested area of the 'old town' in Frankfurt. A guide is talking about reconstruction as a technique or rebuilding an area - the churchbells are tolling, people talking about old and new, about the underground, some construction workers are discussing about doors and if they are open or closed. All recordings are binaural.
