COMMENTARY

1. Leisurely talk, short take

2. " " " "

3. Conversation an trains; hallway ambience, some nice pronunciations of Swedish cities.

4. After steam whistle people leaving, cars taking off; must be end of shift.

5. After siren, same as above, car revving, very noisy.

6. Lots of wind in mic.; footsteps of the recordist, barking dog somebody passing with radio.

7. What an obnoxious bark!

note: 8-22 very short takes.

8. Conversation at beginning. How come there is a German in Skruv?

9. Lots of bottle sounds, clanking against each other; high frequency swishing (from stacking machine?).

11. Interesting beats from clanking bottles.

12. Strong, low frequencies.

13. A liquid sounding process.

14. Change of ambience and door shutting.

15. A big hum.

18. Changing hum-ambiences in background, bottles rattling in foreground.

19. Reverberant warehouse ambience.

20. " " "

22. The recordists are drinking beer "on the job", continuous hum ambience accompanies "skol", "prosit" and some German fragments.

23. A-tiny-silvery-stream-sound, with occasional ambience from highway or brewery. A nice, quiet section.
