Recordist's notes

It's recorded using Sony PCM-D50. The studio here is meant to be quiet, so everyone whispers and murmurs. We can hear workers saying “shhh” to kids, and how a mother whispers to her child, and parents restraining their children from making noise. People seem to refrain from loudly saying “Wow”. Instead, they hold their breath in deep concentration observing and recording the sloth climbing at the lampstandard right next to the audience.
