Recordist's notes
In the middle of a large crossing point for shoppers, it seems as if the idea has been to try to return things to normal in our daily lives. However, looking around you see some frightened by the current epidemic — wearing masks continuously outdoors, others removing after exiting a store and others have them stowed away in their jacket or bag. Months ago, when the lockdown began, this area had a large difference in sonic characteristics, as people have returned there is a returning sound of congestion by our human presence, we fill the gaps between the industrial and natural sound environment generated in these types of places. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19/)
