We are waiting with M.CH. on the pavement next to the little door under the horologe on the Oldtown Square. Martin wanted to record the sound of the clock machine, which he remembers from one of his visits here. The turist crowd all stares at the above windows and the skeleton, ringing the bells every hour. We are the only ones focusing on the keyhole of the iron gate. Waiting if there will be some chance to record the noise of the clock machine. We could recognise only the clicking of the ballance wheel, holding back the impetus of the ringing set.
