Recordist's notes

Waiting in the departure lounge at Luton Airport, sitting next to an authorised personnel only door, and in front of a hall leading to some of the departure gates. You hear the rising and fading sounds of footsteps and ticking of luggage wheels across the floor tiles, staff and travellers talking briefly, and the hum of a fridge in the dining area opposite the seats. Recorded on zoom H4n internal mics.
