*USE HEADPHONES FOR FULL EXPERIENCE*

"Attention: There has been an accident at Maintenance Junction 17. All trains on the Northern Line bound for Dionysus Park, Fort Frolic, Minerva's Den, and Arcadia will experience delays. We apologize for any inconveniences."
― Rapture's PA Announcements, Pre-Fall

After another series of frustration and conflicts, here's Rapture's Apollo Square in the final years of the city 's construction, as requested by the user pevelis.
This was, without a doubt, one of the more challenging ambient videos. I got halfway through planning the video before realizing that my expertise came from quieter videos, like the Tea Gardens and the New Years Party. However, with the onslaught of sounds from passing trains, incoming and outgoing trolleys, PA announcements, music, people walking and talking, I've come to realize that this shouldn't be a video that should be filed under "Ambient Noise".
And yet, here we are.

All PA announcements were recorded by me with a friend's aid, filling in gaps of Rapture's development (I.E. Siren Alley was originally named "Vesta Arcade" for the Roman goddess Vesta, the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family (closely associated with Hestia), or that Dionysus Park was originally an annex of Fort Frolic).
I've spent too much time thinking about this.
Enjoy, guys!
