Recordist's notes

dystopic drone of rushing cars, from the nearby Autobahn A4, heard in a so called forest laboratory, which rather intensifies the uncomfortable feelings of the recordist... "The Cologne Forest Laboratory is a joint project of Toyota, RheinEnergie and the City of Cologne. Here new woods and forest images are to be researched, which bring us knowledge about how the forest of the future looks like and how this is to be managed. The research facility is experimenting in four thematic areas: the convertible forest, the energy forest, the climate forest and the wilderness forest." (Sony PCM D50, Primo Em172)
