Recordist's notes
This is the sound of paper trimmings being dropped into a large plastic bin, ready to be swept up and baled, then sent for recycling... it is part of the process of printing at Williams Press, Berkshire, and the sounds you can hear are thousands of tiny papery ribbons trimmed from the edge of books and magazines falling into a pile
