Recordist's notes

A preacher stood at the escalators in the overpass between the elevated and underground platforms. His words were amplified by a loudspeaker, but this mainly increased echo effects, but not understandability. A phenomenon that I cannot explain is the high tones that arise in the echo, which sound somehow "Mickey Mouse-like".
