Recordist's notes

A long quiet walk on the Sint-Servaas bridge. At the beginning, I'm walking along the hundred bikes. After, as three barges are passing on the Maas river, the bridge is elevating. Bikes must drive on a narrow metallic footbridge. Boats passes, two are producing big engine noise, it's the third time I spot the Puccini from Remich, Luxemburg. When the bridge descends back, the barrier produces a specific sound to Maastricht.
