Recordist's notes

Chimes for 11.45am, a woman passes talking on her phone, a plane flies over, people pass and chat about the sunny weather, traffic and voices in the background, a phone rings somewhere, at noon various bells chime, more people pass and comment on the peacefulness. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s. The microphones are in a 180 degree configuration and placed on the floor to maximise reflected sound capture.
