Recordist's notes

When I arrived in my B&B for the Tuned City workshops, I noticed the amazing sounds of the wardrobe and the mismatched hangers inside it. I immediately documented the sounds of these coathangers inside this nice creaky old wardrobe, knowing that as soon as I put my clothes inside it, the soundwaves will not be as resonant. Recorded with SP-TFB-2-80018 Sound Professionals Low Noise In-Ear Binaural Microphones, hung over the bar inside the wardrobe where the coathangers hang, so as close to the sound source as possible.
