Recordist's notes

Footsteps, voices, and background music (Muzak) merge in the Rathaus Passage into a dynamic soundscape. Hard floors, glass, and metal create a long reverberation, which is, however, dampened by shop fittings and carpeted surfaces. While shopping malls have their own sound signature, they follow a standardized acoustic concept and sound remarkably similar worldwide.
