Recordist's notes
Recorded (with a Tascam DR-100 mkIII) inside the circle that marks the burial site of Sebastian Bach. I made very small edits mainly to erase wind. This is usually one of the busiest streets in Leipzig and it's now running on minimal levels but still... Because of the COVID-19 pandemic i was expecting it to be really quiet... Listen to it, understand your center, stay calm.
