Recordist's notes

Recording of shoppers, pedestrians, families, and two groups fighting for their voice to be heard, one being the LBGTQ+ singing and the other a Gospel preaching. This recording shows the constant sonic clash within the space when it is fully reopened, and people are trying to spread their message from whichever group they identify. Other times it is other groups of activists or musicians trying to be heard. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19_belfast-city-lockdown-3/)
