Recordist's notes
It was way too crowded. And it was too hot for the animals to do anything at all. So I thought it was a good idea to record the visitors around me while walking through the zoo. Het was te druk. En het was te heet voor de dieren om ook maar iets te doen. Het leek me een goed om dan maar de bezoekers op te nemen terwijl ik door het park liep. Binaural recording
