Recordist's notes

This Hinterhof is a huge open space amongst the apartment buildings. Not much is happening except a car motor is continuously idling. It blends indistinguishably into the general city roar. Magpies occasionally chatter and a man shouts in the distance. Towards the end Turkish music plays from the car, but is also lost in the roar. The light is fading and the rain might start again.
