Recordist's notes
Two weasels trying to escape my microphone while relatively far away by the havel river the band "beatsteaks" plays on a concert. The sound spreads very far, not affected by the lake and park between the mic and the concert. But as soon as a car passes by, everything is gone, as cars brutally defend their dominance in the urban soundscape. Recorded on Sennheiser ME64 with Fostex FR-2LE
