Recordist's notes

Sequence of a journey with 'Tramwaj 19' from Bytom to Katowice, past peri-urban brownfield sites and along humming traffic arteries of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region. The tram itself couldn't be more regional: a 'Konstal 105Na', manufactured from 1979 to 1992 in Chorzów's Konstal factories. Recorded with binaural microphones.
