Recordist's notes

From a distance, the carillon of St. Jakob’s Cathedral rings out, linking the historical sound dimension with the urban sounds of the present, making the encounter of past and present perceptible. A modern water feature adds a constant noise over the square. In the near field, footsteps, voices, and a barking dog shape the scene—the latter activates the acoustics, making reflections on stone surfaces and buildings audible.
