Recordist's notes
The gardens and play areas surrounded by these vast East German appartment blocks are extensive and often very quiet, as the huge building effectively keep the traffic noise out. The city outside sounds very distant. It means birds can be clearly heard even if they are some distance away, such as these sparrows.
