Recordist's notes

I was going down high street, passing by some vendors and a street preacher. That day I tested a way to walk with just the Zoom H5 on me, no fancy rod or stand or what else, and avoid handling noises. The result was not really convincing and I had to cut and mix out some mic noise. Recorded with a Zoom H5 and the stock X/Y stereo mics (which i never quite like, but thats another story).
