Recordist's notes
Photocopying things in the Oxford Brookes Library for a workshop I'm giving in a week's time. I can't actually see the JHB building on the Satellite view as the view seems not to have been updated since the new building work has finished, but I'm pretty sure the sound is in the correct place in relation to the recognisable (and remaining) architectural features of the campus. The new JHB building is all open plan with very high ceilings, so chatter drifts in when there are pauses in the techno rhythms of the photocopier.
