Recordist's notes
Large demonstrations often create strange surreal moments and the extinction rebels are particularly inventive. Three large Chinese gongs have been brought to Waterloo Bridge to add to the trees, plants, beautiful coloured paper insects and everything else. Their sound blends with the people, bass sound system and police helicopters overhead.
