Recordist's notes
A stroll through Bree street taxi rank… I often travel from here… this day, I came for listening… everyone’s “broadcasting” here… I drift across the ground floor level … between parking combies, waiting and lingering people … along the small stalls of the traders… then half a floor up through the “arcade” along the market stalls… (mini-disk recording) archived at: https://archive.org/details/SevenCity-soundscapes
