Recordist's notes
this is a very interesting recording in my opinion. it was made at the Port of Barcelona Terminal F3 entrance on the street leading to one of the port gates. When I asked my friend what would be at the place where she was planing to show me that day she told me that there will be nothing. And indeed there was nothing We ended up at the end of the access street to the port. The sound ambience of nothing was very rich and perfectly reflects presence of nothing in this place. A dense drone and constant whining noise coming from the port, modulating slowly and phasing fills the place with unique sound texture. One of the port cars takes a turn at a traffic circle at high speed. (roland r-07)
