Recordist's notes
As Peter mentions below: Creaky floor of the disused library/sports hall in the building of the University of Applied Sciences (also hosting a gallery, and the ZeM for a while), formerly the "Institut für Lehrerbildung" (GDR). I was walking over the wooden floor without shoes. Today, in April 2019, the whole building is already demolished in order to redesign Potsdam's new 'historical' inner city.
