Recordist's notes
A walk recording through the Hinterhof on the map, voice reverberate in the tunnel under the apartment blocks. A robin sings - good to hear they've started again after their summer/early autumn break. The acoustics in here are so strong that sirens sounds merge into a continuous tone.
