Recordist's notes
A broken intercom was transmitting the sounds from the interior of a flat into the public space of the road. The sound was treble-heavy and could be heard from a surprising distance. Recorded with EDIROL R09 amd onboard microphones, sat on a piece of the door very close to the intercom.
