Recordist's notes

I made this recording at my front window, listening out to the neighborhood on a sunny and warm Saturday afternoon in April. People are starting to come back to life in the neighborhood. Someone playing music down the street with a peculiar reverberation. Traffic including cars, skateboards, motorcycles, people walking. The hounds down the street barking. The motorcycle at 1:30 is loud and distorted, totally clipped. I left it in because it portrays the feeling accurately. Recorded with Olympus LS-10 and LOM mikroUši
