karosta.bridge.edit

Max Borisov suggested a contact mike recording of the Karosta Channel 
Bridge because of its symbolic nature. During Soviet times, this bridge 
provided the only access to the military restricted area of Karosta. 
When the bridge is open for ships entering or leaving the harbour, the 
entire community still remains isolated from the outside world for up to 
an hour. A good set of geophones or seismic sensors might have done the 
job better, but the resonances of wood and metal are still quite clear 
as cars and people pass overhead.

[headphones with proper R/L placement recommended!]
