Recordist's notes

One of the recordings under the theme of “organization.” Sounds produced by roads, public transportation, and traffic signals are classic components of the urban soundscape. However, when listened to from the perspective of “organization,” these familiar sonic elements reveal additional layers of interpretation, highlighting the structured coordination that underlies everyday urban movement and regulation. The recording was captured using a Zoom H4n Pro recorder equipped with a windscreen.
