Recordist's notes

Walking home we espied the most amazing building and went to check it out; very vast and boat-like it has an enormous lobby that seems to be open very late and something of a grand, sheltered thoroughfare. A speaker by one of the exits plays this rather calming yet inexplicable chiming sound, so I listened for a while enjoying the continuity of its recorded bell sounds with the ebb and flow of traffic on the road.
