An unexpected piano

An unexpected piano

This bonus episode, in my opinion, contains some of the most beautiful audio I've captured for the podcast so far. I wanted to capture the sounds of a city lobby, but shortly after I started recording, I ended up being treated to an unexpected impromptu performance from a public piano on the other side of the building. The result is a beautiful mix of unexpected music and people milling about, having conversation. 

  • Foreground: People in a public building. 
  • Background: An unexpected piano practice session.
