Recordist's notes

Catching people on a shopping Avenue, asking for water or money, hard to follow in his talk. Une personne qui parlait fort sur cette avenue commerçante, approche les personnes de près pour discuter longuement, demande de l'eau ou à manger, discours difficile à suivre. Tech Note : Immersive Soundscapes Earsight V2 microphones AB -> Zoom F3.
