Recordist's notes

Soundscape from my balcony in Colombo on the morning of the Sinhala-Tamil New Year. The usual suspects are there, a srilankan broom brushing the leaves away, the crows, the chipmunks and various other birds that I can't name including a very close visitor towards the end of the track. Its much quieter than usual because its a holiday and its the only day of the year that I haven't seen any buses (the noisiest most dangerous things around) on the road. You can even hear the waves of the sea if you listen carefully.
