Recordist's notes
Another recording, starting on the B-level, the escelator is audible, then the microphone rests in the hall before you enter the main station. It is quiet, someone is coughing a lot and extensively. Another one is having a phone call. Then the microphone walks to the platform 9 and 10, not without being asked if there are some cent to be spared. Trolleys are audible, the coffee shop in the background, especially the sound when the coffee strainer is emptied. Anouncements are made, at a certain point a remote discussion between two man and four police men, the sound of a walkie talkie is also audible. What is not there anymore are the anouncements to keep distance. The recording was made with a Tascam, DR-44WL.
