Recordist's notes

he calls of crows, dispersed across the trees at Landwehrplatz and Max-Ophüls-Platz, create a layered acoustic structure. Their positions and movements become spatially perceptible through reflections from the surrounding buildings. As a cleaning vehicle approaches, the soundscape shifts: the growing mechanical noise masks the subtle bird calls and significantly reduces the acoustic transparency of the space.
