Recordist's notes
What makes the city the city? Diversity, yes, but as well, repetition. The same ways everyday, the same metro station, every day, once in the mornings, once in the afternoon. Transit through other peoples lives, a brief piercing through the diversity of faces, forms and sounds, bundled in the very same place. In the end, repetition weighs more than diversity.
