Recordist's notes
Weekly, the market fundamentally changes the acoustic character of Wiener Platz, creating a temporary sonic territory shaped by its use. Vendors call out their goods, conversations begin and end, people move between the stalls, shop and linger. Voices, calls and footsteps overlap, constantly changing the density of the sound field. In between, the underground lines 18/13 can be heard. The arrival and departure of the trains form a recurring orientation sound that cuts through the market activity
