Wuhan’s night markets are famously vibrant, but Changti Street’s night market recording was chosen for its contrast with the afternoon one, highlighting shifts in life’s rhythm and atmosphere. In this recording: nearby voices shift from passersby to seated diners, more stable; the next layer of pedestrians chat while walking, dynamic. 

In the mid-to-distant background, restaurant workers and vendors shout, grills sizzle, loud exhaust fans rumble, and diners in narrow alleys clamor. The interplay of motion and layers creates a kaleidoscopic soundscape, starkly contrasting the afternoon’s constant flux.
