Recordist's notes
I chose a table in the middle of the room and sit down. I put the microphone at the middle of the table. There are not many people. At the next desk someone takes out a notebook from his backpack and puts it on the table. The dragging of a chair far can be heard from where I am. Sound of steps in the stairs that heads to the second floor. Someone sneezes. It is heard the typing on the laptops. More steps. Murmurs. Moving things on the tables. The zip of a backpack while it's opened. Beeps of returning a book. Recorded by Alejandro Santini Dupeyrón. Recorded with a Zoom H4n.
