Recordist's notes
Lively ambience, voices, children, market traders packing up, a plane circles overhead, a fast electric bike passes, the old clock on the Butter Market Hall strikes the half hour. The recorder and the mics are flat on the floor which seems to help with distant sounds. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a home made wind shield. 32bit x 48khz original converted to Mp3.
