Recordist's notes

Recorded under the bridge using Rode NSFT1 and zoom f6. In this location, you can hear how the bridge resonantes when cars and trams corss it. The louderst sounds (beginning and middle of the track) are two trams passing by, the rest are cars. It was a windy day, so you can also listen to a boat crashing the waves of the Maas.
