Recordist's notes
In this part of the city there is an abandoned fire station complex. There are several buildings here and on the floor of one of them is a gymnasium. The buildings are in deplorable condition and practically turn into a ruin when you look at them. Many of the windows are broken and some of them are open. One of the windows creaked in the wind and hit the frame. The sound of the creaking window was certainly very interesting inside in the large gymnasium but the complex is fenced off and due to its condition it would be very dangerous to enter into the gym. We have to settle for the sound of a broken window from the outside which still greatly emphasizes the decay and lack of interest in these buildings. (roland r-07)
