Recordist's notes
On the soundwalk day (on the World Listening Day) which happened to be a rainy one we indeed realized that rain is present very much in the soundscape, in different ways. As a starting point we did listen very closely to the water dripping down through the manhole cover at the Orrtorget square. The manhole cover is just by the house wall under a small roof where we found shelter from the rain. WLD
