Recordist's notes
On this small public plaza, on the building side, a young group a people was chatting on a very limited portion of its surface, grouped on one of these perimetered rectangular platforms. On the street side, younger girls were playing and biking in the circle shaped spots, the street traffic sound is way more present than on the building side. Binaural, to be listened to in comparison with the other recording on the building side. Context : project from Caroline Claus L28_Urban Sound Design studio : http://www.q-o2.be/en/event/caroline-claus-urban-sound-design-ateliers/
