Recordist's notes
Someone throwing bottles and jars in a big glass bin. We can hear the sound of the breaking glass, like in the Kate Bush's hit Babooshka. There's also a crow, a group of tourists passing by and a distant concrete saw, from a construction site nearby (on Quai de la Fosse, part of the big project including the Anne de Bretagne Bridge enlargement). Recorded with a Sony PCM M10, built in mics.
