Recordist's notes
The plastic slats covering a ventilation exhaust unit flap chaotically. Although shoppers regularly pass by this exhaust unit when they go the supermarket, it seems insignificant. Its continuous white noise, however, forms part of those shoppers daily experience. Captured late at night to avoid excess sound interference, this recording aims to represent the ventilation unit's song in its purity.
