1:08 minutes (1.3 MB)

May 16th 2007, afternoon. Montreal Biodome. high-ish peopliness; medium sound density. From an indoor space, with an adjacent indoor space emulating an outdoor space being broadcast into the space being recorded. A different kind of shift: this recording is all done in one space, without movement: the public viewing area for the Biodome's antarctic ecosystem, while an area behind glass, packed with penguins, is mic'd and being fed into the public area over two overhead loudspeakers. So this is an interior space, emulating an outdoor space, intruding on another interior space.
