Recordist's notes
An extract recorded inside the public greenhouses of tropical and subtropical plant groups at Ghent University Botanical Garden. The plants are subjected to a space dominated by the sounds of visitors and controlled by slamming doors and automated, mechanical windows adjusting constantly in response to the temperature. Captured with a pair of lavalier microphones and MixPre3.
