Recordist's notes
I was staying in this hotel for a couple of nights. The hotel is located next to the train rails. After midnight you can only hear a few trains passing by once in a while and the sound of cars and motorcycles in the city. The most present sound at that time is the one produce by crickets all along the train rails. Recorded with Zoom H8 and a stereo set of Uzi pro Lom mics.
