Recordist's notes

A long real time recording experience. I am in the large cafe of the theatre late on a cold afternoon. On the left a girl behind the counter is busy, in front two ladies talk and a man carries glasses to lay tables on the right. Various people pass by. Eventually I finish my cake and coffee and walk over to watch a video with music then out into the street where a busker plays a recorder. Finally I walk down an alley to the car park followed by a woman pushing a noisey shopping trolley. MixPre 6 II with two Sennheiser MKH 8020s in a rucksack.
