“Posting postcards, day 1 of phase 3, at the time of covid19” Soundwalk Chapter CVIII of Ascolto il tuo cuore, città. I listen to your heart, city. Monday, June 15th 2020. Walking to mailbox to post postcard, San Salvario district, Turin, ninety-seven days after (but day forty-three of Phase II and day thirty of Phase IIB and day twenty-four of Phase IIC and day 1st of Phase III) of emergency disposition due to the epidemic of COVID19. Start at 8:19 p.m. end at 8:40 p.m. duration of recording 20’39” Binaural recording made with ZoomH2n and Soundman OKMII, 24 bit, 48 kHz, stereo wave converted in MP3 320 kbit/s As binaural recording is suggested headphones listening. The entire path is associated with a synchronized GPS track recorded in the (kml, gpx, kmz) files downloadable here: This is the first day and first recording of Phase III of the COVID-19 emergency outbreak. Since the first day of Phase I (March 10) I have made recordings on a daily basis (at least one recording per day: 108 dedicated recordings in 97 days), all published on aporee.org. Today marks the end of my Phase A and the beginning of my Phase B in which I interrupt the daily cadence of the recordings to start a different, slower cadence that I haven't decided yet, but that will be marked by reinterpretations of situations, days, times, spaces, ... that can allow comparisons of similar situations in the situation starting today. In theory, we are back to normal: I hope so, we hope so. And from this new-found normality, I will continue to document recordings, (soundwalks and soundscapes, geotag path, related photos) hopefully useful to deduce something of this strange time that was the confinement and the emergency. http://users.libero.it/gigav/GPSTracks200310/15_Giu_2020_20_19_21.kmz http://users.libero.it/gigav/GPSTracks200310/15_Giu_2020_20_19_21.kml http://users.libero.it/gigav/GPSTracks200310/15_Giu_2020_20_19_21.gpx
