Door Opener Recorded on November 19, 2014 using H2nextXY

This audio recording, titled "Door Opener" and captured on November 19, 2014, encapsulates the seemingly mundane but distinct sound of an automatic door opening. The recording was made in the field, specifically at a university setting in Cologne. The audio starts with a brief moment of ambient noise, likely the low hum of students and faculty going about their day. Suddenly, the automatic door is triggered, causing a mechanical whir to fill the air as the door opens. The sound is crisp and clear, a testament to the high quality of the H2nextXY recording device used. The door then smoothly and quietly closes, returning the audio environment to its initial state. The entire experience creates an auditory snapshot of a day in the life at a university in Cologne, where technology like automatic doors facilitates the hustle and bustle of academic life. The recording ends as subtly as it began, leaving the listener with a sense of having momentarily stepped into a different place and time.
