Recordist's notes

Nauener Platz in Berlin was recently remodeled and reconstructed by urban planners and acousticians in order to improve its ambiance – with special regard to its sonic properties. One of the outcomes of this project is a middle-sized noise barrier (gabion wall) reducing the crossroads’ traffic noise on the playground by 3 dB. Starting below the noise barrier, I lifted the microphone over the wall while recording and dropped it below again. For more information on the project read on here: http://sonicagents.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/a-soundscape-re-modeled/
