Recordist's notes
in the middle of the building, there is a hollow space in the form of a well. windows from the kitchens and living rooms of various apartments look out on the inside this well. at night when the windows are open, you can hear the activity of other residents. talking, washing dishes, some are preparing meals and eating very late. the sewage pipes of toilets also go out into this well, you can hear the flushing of water and the filling of the tank with water. some sounds of the city also find their way from the top.
