Recordist's notes
Dogs barking, birds singing, lawnmowers, DIY and the nearby busy Galway-Headford road as heard from the back garden of a house I had been living in for three months and have since moved out of, in the quiet neighbourhood of Riverside. This estate was built on top of an old city dump, some of the houses (including mine) had suffered some major infrastructural damage due to land sinkage. Recorded with a Zoom H1 on the windowsill of my ground-floor window.
