Recordist's notes

This is a recording made at Udo's request during a recent adventure in Brussels! We were walking to the final venue for the Tuned City Festival when we heard the wonderful sonorities of go-karting cascading down the street. Udo asked me to record the sound for him, so here is what I heard outside, looking across the tarmac and watching the drivers. ENJOY! Recorded with Audio Technica BP4029 stereo shotgun and FOSTEX FR-2LE recorder.
