Recordist's notes
Next to the Europa Hotel, there is the Belfast Bus Station for local and distance commute around the island. Multiple times people were going in and out, either leaving/returning from work, a weekend trip, or just heading home from the city. People are trying to find the normal in their lives, certain areas have reopened, and others remain closed. People and vehicle traffic have retaken the sound of the city, masking the clarity of intricate sonic activities that were occurring throughout the lockdown. It begs to ask, what are we missing every day when we put ourselves everywhere? – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19/)
