Recordist's notes

This overpass is the only way in and out of StorkowerStrasse SBahn station. It also links two shopping precincts, so is much used. The sounds reverberate up and down the enclosed passageway. It can be a dense noise. This busker sang and played a small red concertina (next door location), although not at the same time. I enjoyed hearing her on this spring like sunny day. Only a few days we had been stuck in long, bitterly cold, snowy winter. This was welcome change. At the end of the recording I walk past her too.
