Recordist's notes

An account from a Hibakusha. A survivor of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki nuclear bombings. A harrowing warning to a world that once again finds itself teetering on the brink, but simultaneously an experiment in just how noisy other people can be without even realising it. Recorded on a Tascam DR-05X.

Written by Madeline Molko on radio aporee ::: maps.
