Recordist's notes
This is the first of a series of recordings that document the change of sound in the station during the so called 'Corona Crisis'. It is unclear if it will become audible that there is less noise, less voices than normal. But at least it is a try to document this very special situation. This recording starts on the B-level, where drugs are dealt, the microphone walks to an escalator to the entrance hall. Voices, suitcases, birds.
