Recordist's notes
Sitting on a bench and listening intently, perceiving the thick, soupy quality of so much traffic encircling the park. Wondering at the way birdsong can rise above the sound of car engines, and enjoying some blackbirds and wood pigeons busy in the trees. Audio Technica BP4029 and FOSTEX FR-2LE.
