Recordist's notes
Umbau eines ehemaligen Kaufhauses. Da kommen die etwas gößeren Presslufthammer zum Einsatz. Die Passanten reagieren trotz der Lautstärke meist nicht auf den Lärm. Tauben und Möven schon. Es ist ein Ort, an dem sich sonst viele dieser Vögel unterwegs sind. Aufnahme mit dem Olympus LS12 und dem Badewannen-Doppelnackenkissen-Mikrofon, einer Modifikation, Weiterentwicklung des SASS-Mikros. ____________ Renovation of a former department store. This is where the somewhat larger jackhammers are used. Despite the volume, passersby mostly don't react to the noise. Pigeons and seagulls do. It's a place where many of these birds usually roam. Recording with the Olympus LS12 and the bathtub double neck pillow microphone, a modification and further development of the SASS microphone.
