Recordist's notes
On a side street of the pedestrian zone, outside a fast food restaurant. A faint, mysterious melody can be heard from the distance. I have no idea where this melody was coming from, or if it was even a melody. A tram and a bus can also be heard from the adjacent streets. Binaural recording with DPA 4560 on Zoom F3
