Rohanský ostrov, towards the end of Karlín. New highway direction Palmovka and Balabenka. The recording contains intro from the New Karlín at Křižíkova station and then the resonating sound from the inside of some long big tubes, laid on the ground near the former powerstation at Švábky. Two unknown youngstres excersised some drumming. The backgroud noise comes from the cars and trucks passing by. The strip of land direction Vltava is wasteland. The entire riverbank between Invalidovna and Libeňská bridge is now flat and liberated from the buildings. The moment when the developers will invade it is approaching.
