Recordist's notes
(binaural) evening wander around vast housing estate. in front of building 21. it's warm. people sit on benches and echos of their conversations reverberate off the sides of high buildings. different sounds can be heard form the myriad of windows. coughs, groans, laughs, talks, radios. passing by a broken intercom. at the end of the recording i'm crossing a street and walk into a fright train that passes about two meters in front of me.
