Recordist's notes

The acoustics of the large foyer and adjoining corridors (Campus SOWI) arise from the volume, shape, and hard surfaces of concrete, stone, and glass, which produce a long reverberation. Voices, footsteps, and the opening of doors are amplified by the long reverberation and therefore remain audible in the space for a longer duration, so that hardly any sound event remains private.Vending machines provide a constant hum, coloring the acoustic character of the space.
