The sound of Hozumi-dori 3-chome: the ambience beds, the three radio stations, the score, the mix, and every voiced line.

Playing it

The radio changes station with R. It is loud in the car and a murmur on the street. NIGHT TALK 1422 puts Hamada-san on the air over its own bed, and prints what he says.

The clips

Every clip is a committed .soundClip under /zero/source/audio, so nothing is generated while somebody is playing. Beds are stored uncompressed and crossfaded seamless end to end so they loop without a seam; one-shots are compressed with a short silent head so the first sound is never clipped.
