Recordist's notes
Im Tunnel zwischen den U-Bahnen mit Akkordeon-Spieler Zwischen der U6 und der U2 gibt es einen langen niedrigen Tunnel: eine Gruppe von Jugendlichen, die sich lautstark unterhält. Am Ende des Tunnels ein Akkordeon Spieler - er beginnt mit Schostakowitschs Walzer Nr. 2 - Ich bleibe in seiner Nähe, befinde mich eine halbe Treppe über ihm. Menschen gehen die Treppen rauf und runter. Eine U-Bahn fährt ein und wieder ab. Ich entferne mich langsam vom Spieler und komme nochmal an der Gruppe der Jugendlichen vorbei. Between the U6 and U2 there is a long, low tunnel: a group of young people who talks loudly. At the end of the tunnel an accordion player - he begins with Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2. I stay close to him, half-staircase above him. People walk the stairs up and down. The subway arrives and departs. I leave slowly the player. pass again by the group of young people.
