COMMENTARY

1. The practice had just broken up; a few more left at the end. Pretty funny, funky playing.

2. Good clear soundscape. Various footsteps, birds; ending with shutters opening at the Albergo. Note tractor entering into full foreground towards beginning.

3. Note the reverberation.

4. 3 men, 2 cutting stone and 1 pushing wheelbarrow.

5. Some stamping sounds and discussion by recordists over how much the officials were going to charge us for processing the carnet.
