Recordist's notes
This is a binaural recording. I am walking along the south-west exit of the "open space" in Kennedy Town. There are many people milling about, sitting around the benches, walking along the promenade. You can also hear briefly the waves crashing against the dock next to the promenade. It's a little chaotic, although on this night it was perhaps less crowded than usual. You can also hear a couple arguing in Cantonese.
About the place
Victoria is a city of about 956,800 people in Central and Western, Hong Kong. OttoAnna lists 47 field recordings from here.
Equipment mentioned: Binaural microphones. Microphones worn in the ears (or in a dummy head) that capture sound as a listener hears it – best experienced on headphones.
