Recordist's notes

*Quasi-Binaural* Soundwalked down Main St. past a local brewpub and hunkered down for a moment in front of one of many earth movers flaking up the pavement and scraping it up into a truck. Surrounding streets were closed so very little traffic noise on this usually very well traveled thoroughfare. CA-14 omni > DR100 MK2
