Recordist's notes

Recorded in basic stereo recorder (Olympus LSP2) during the confinment in Brussels. I was queuing to enter the supermarket and wanted to record the calm of the city when an old lady arrived and join another same age lady ahead of me, complaining with humour about the new rules. by Aurélien Lebourg Time format: Time portière+charriot 00:00:13,06560091 demarrage voiture 00:01:15,08689342 passage voiture 00:01:40,68365079 arrivée vieille dame 00:02:09,03770975 demande transistor 00:02:19,06317460 pas rentrer les pensionnés ? 00:02:32,64165533 scooter 00:02:34,91795918 agent de sécurité fait ce qu'il veut 00:03:02,23791383 de 8 à 9 h 00:03:33,66507937 attendez je suis trop près de vous 00:03:52,54888889 discipline.. pour moi ? 00:04:18,79566893
