Recordist's notes
On Moabiter Brücke, looking east. The idea was to capture the distinctive rattling noise of the S-Bahn commuter train from afar wich makes this unforgettable singing sound in narrow curves all across the city. As it uses a high build bridge through the city to let roads cross underneath, the sound can spread widely in every direcion. This curve is only half a kilometer away. Recorded on Shure VP88 with Fostex FR-2LE
