New York City at 6 AM

Mid-range field recording taken on Varick St. in Manhattan, New York, near the corner of King St.
The recording was made on a Saturday morning at about 6 AM and features flowing traffic with diverse cars, trucks and buses. Not many people are about at this hour, making for a nice, neutral backdrop for urban scenes.
Recording conducted with a Zoom H2, mics set to 90° dispersion.

@ coneybeare: Thanks! I would too! Sorry, but I was only there for a few hours for a documentary film shoot! I hope I'll have more time for some longer stuff with surround channels next time - and it'll definitely land here when I do!
