Recordist's notes

Recorded on a trans atlantic crossing Southampton-New York while walking from deck 7, the Kings Court self service dining area along to The Corinthian Room, down to the Main Concourse on deck 3 and finally deck 2 outside the computer area. I found walking without making creaking sounds impossible. The double chimes are the lifts. Heard are voices at a quiz in the Golden Lion Pub and part of a recital in The Royal Court Theatre. The final voices are teenagers outside Connexions, a public meeting area with computers. MixPre 3 with 2 x Beyer Lavaliers.
