Recordist's notes
Istiklal Caddesi, the street of the many manias. Whatever you do expect, its there. If there is such a thing as the aesthetics of the crowds, it comes to a climax in this place during the night. The result is a sonic conundrum. The recording was made walking down the street for approximately 500 meters.
