Recordist's notes

Sunday, March 22,2020, 6 pm - there was a call to perform "Ode to Joy" together, from the balconies and window, in Corona times. I was curious to hear whether it would happen. It didn't. Not here at least. The church bells were there, as usual on a Sunday evening. The first bell got nicely mixed with two kids on their way home playing with a basket ball. One short attempt on an accordion. In times of closed EU borders, refugees kept outside, in camps, it would be better, as someone suggested, to perform The International, or whatever, but not the European hymn. imho Recorded on a Sony PCM D100 from my balcony again.
