Recordist's notes
(binaural) some strange sounds coming form around the garbage containers. there was no one inside the place, and it didn't sound like rats. yet a lot of moving sounds were coming from the garbage bins. as if they were alive. i couldn't go inside to check as the room was locked. every once in a while people came to throw away their trash, slamming the door. quiet evening ambience of the housing estate.
