Recordist's notes
The cycle path dips under the rail bridges here creating a place of sonic extremes. Thunderous trains pass overhead followed by gaps of stillness where every detail of a passing dogs' claws clicking the asphalt or a speeding cycle's unique individual sound can be heard enhanced by the reverberation of the bridge ceiling and walls.
