Recordist's notes

i a way these morning prayers represent soundmarks that are to be listened to at regular daily times all over the city. especially early in the morning there it is a good moment to choose to listen to the sound of the city , where the cultural and achitectural soundscape lighten up audibly the surrounding whereIn the soundlevel of traffic yet is pretty low... this recording was made at 03:30 in the morning and the prayers started at 03:34 ( 2 X neumann KM184 + sounddevice 722 - AB)
