Recordist's notes
The former Kabelwerk in Berlin is a huge abandoned factory. People meet in there e.g. to make graffitis. Instead of former industrial sounds you here music and the cans. This recording is made with the trash out of this cans, simultaneously recorded with usual field recording microphones and a contactmicrophone. The uploaded recording is a mix of them.
