Recordist's notes

It's recorded using Sony PCM-D50. It’s symbolic because the street is highly localized with retro Hong Kong culture for photo taking. Along with designs of the symbolic neon sign of old Hong Kong, they play songs from the golden age of Hong Kong. I heard the song Crazy City by my favorite artist, Aaron Kwok Fu Shing, and I felt excited: therefore, you can hear me screaming and making exclamation. Besides, we can also hear people asking the names of the song, as well as the workers of Sloth & Friends Studio using microphones saying that “We have sloth and python!”
