Recordist's notes

The green areas amongst apartment blocks here are quiet spaces in the center of the city. There is not so much activity. Busy roads are distant while children playing close by. A helicopter passes by sounding loud for a moment. Sirens come and go. Trams rumble on the main roads contributing to the constant bass frequencies that permeate many city areas.
