Recordist's notes
Public shower stuck spreading water, some people try silently to stop it, finally someone succeeds at 8 minutes. Distant conversations, a special police truck passing by on the beach at 5'00. Douche publique sur la plage qui ne s'arrête pas, quelqu'un parvient à arrêter l'eau à 8 minutes. Voix distantes, un véhicule tout-terrain de police passe sur la plage à 5'00. Tech Note : Lom mikroUsi Pro AB → Zoom F3.
