Recordist's notes
This Hinterhof is new, surrounded by media/tech business. It is quiet, the city sounds arrive over the roof tops. Mostly it is car park but the one tree and a patch of green is enough for a blackbird sounding in the dusk before it roosts. There is a small pond with a tiny, very quiet, fountain switched off at night. At weekends the gates to the road are closed.
