Recordist's notes

Standing in the local park across the cathedral brought on new perspectives, I was able to stand in the middle of this giant circle area listening to people at different points in the park. There were kids somewhere in far back that were just hanging out together, to my left two men who were discussing something quite important, workers leaving the office, and even some guests for a local hotel to my right. This one spot generated multiple sonic activities as if we weren’t just in lockdown for almost three months. People just went back to what they were doing, as almost nothing happened. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19/)
