Recordist's notes

A sound walk inside the cathedral. Some random voices then I head for the sound of music in the nave. It is a school choir rehearsing for a concert. I walk around the nave and out into the street to catch the sound of the bell at noon. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s. 32bit x 48khz converted to 320kbps MP3
