Recordist's notes
A sound walk on a busy Mother's Day through the shopping centres. The audio image changes and various voices, snatches of conversations and incidental sounds are heard. The peoples' accent is mostly Gloucestershire. Preventing the mics hearing movement as I walked was difficult and not always achieved. Recorded with a MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s.
