Recordist's notes
The university courtyard acts like a natural amplifier: reflections enhance sounds such as loading and unloading activities from cafés, restaurants, the theater, and the university. At the same time, the courtyard shields street noise, and the lawn invites students to linger. Occasionally, a soprano from the theater can be heard, her voice gaining presence through the reflections and bringing a musical liveliness to the courtyard.
