Recordist's notes
Walk south down 5th Avenue from near Central Park on a busy morning. MixPre 3 with 2 x Beyer Lavaliers in a small rucksack on my back. The mics are in each ventilated side pocket with home made wind screens. This gives more stereo separation as the sound sources get closer. I have to be careful not to cause noise by walking too fast. I think the bells are St. Patricks Cathedral.
