Recordist's notes

A stationary recording from the gate perimeter. The acoustic environment is defined by intermittent boarding announcements and the low-frequency rumble of ground operations audible through the glass. A more contained, expectant atmosphere compared to the main terminal lounge. Recorded with a Tascam DR-05.
