Recordist's notes
The Vallecas sub-neighborhoods of Entrevías and Palomeras Bajas are separated by a train line connecting the eastern suburbs of Madrid to the city center. This line shapes the neighborhood and the sounds that populate it. In fact, the neighborhood is named after the train line. Entrevías means "between train lines" because it lies between this line and another in the southern part. We hear two trains passing by (one in each direction), as well as a electromagnetic hum that was captured not in purpose with the mics.
