Recordist's notes
雨天宜倚楼听雨听风而眠 Record a rainy day in the coffee shop in the ancient city, my secret corner ,the sounds of cars driving on the road ,the noise, andmy heartbeat. From Haruki Murakami's romance about summer: the slight south wind brings the scent of the sea and the smell of tar from the sun, reminding me of the warmth of the girl’s skin in the previous summer, old rock music, newly repaired shirts, changing clothes in the swimming pool The smell of smoke in the room and the subtle foreboding are some sweet dreams of endless summer.
