Kids playing in a schoolyard.
As I was walking in the public park along this schoolyard during the pupils’ break time, I thought it would be nice to record them while they were playing, running and screaming.
In the background, one can also hear a distant construction site on the left.
Recorded in Nanterre (suburbs of Paris, France), in March 2026, with a Zoom H6Essential and its Zoom XYh-6e stock microphone.
Fade in/out applied in Audacity.
