The canteen at the campus of the Technical University Graz was chosen because it was possible to place the array in a way no table conversations are recorded. It was positioned on the knee of the L-shaped room. <br><br> Sound sources: — people chatting — clattering of crockery — coffee machine — roller carriage passing by — noise floor of refrigerator, deduction, stove,.. <br> <br><br> Recorded by Elisabeth Frauscher <br><br> This project was realised in collaboration between sonible GmbH and IEM en Unknown ambience recording ambisonics binaural canteen mensa Frauscher, Elisabeth
