Recordist's notes
This old factory is now completely full of discarded junk, including quite a lot of VHS tape, which has in time unwound itself from its containment, and dissipated throughout the building in long, fluttery drifts. Because so much of the glass from the windows is missing inside the derelict building, the wind rips right through the space, shaking all the things in its path; loose panes of glass, heavy doors that hang in their frames, and the VHS tape that has been left lying around.
