Recordist's notes

(description in English below) Op de scooters na is dit een heel rustig hofje, de scooters gebruiken deze plek als sluiproute. Veel mensen vinden het geluid van de scooters storend, wellicht vanwege de associatie met het soms roekeloze rijgedrag in Amsterdam. Beside the scooters that pass by, this is a very quiet courtyard, the scooters use this street to squeeze the way. Many people find the sound of scooters disturbing, perhaps because of its association with the sometimes reckless driving in Amsterdam.
