Unfortunately not a grassy one. Spent the entire day at the hospital verifying measurements for a project. Above the ceiling, into service rooms, electrical closets, storerooms…. So much clutter and weird stuff to see. Was really tempted to bring the field recorder, but my hands were already very full. Oh well.
Left: The insides of old electronics remind me of tiny cities
Right: I’m at hospitals pretty regularly for work. There are always lots of glass blocks used in hospitals, which is very strange to me.
Dug into the unresponsive cassette recorder a bit more and found that the motor isn’t dead. That issue came from a broken bit of old plastic that was supposed to hold a switch in place to be activated by the mechanical buttons. It’s alive! Still doesn’t sound right though. Next steps: new belt and a thorough cleaning.
