  • 3109: Coimbra University

  • 3107: Sunday morning backyard symphony
    Vancouver lockdown sound recorded by Kelly Johnson.
    "Vancouver, BC has had the great fortune of temperate weather and many days of blue skies as we spend our days homebound since mid-March. A few weeks ago the frog symphony started up in our backyard. 
    "Their chorus runs day and night and is a most pleasant soundtrack to both fall asleep with and wake up to. In this clip the backyard birds have joined in to add their avian melody to the amphibian bass line."

  • 3103: 200 metres from the sea
    Genoa, Italy lockdown sound recorded by Bruno Michele.
    "A Sunday stroll at lunch time within the 200 m distance from home limit we're allowed. Luckily enough for me I happen to live quite close to the sea. Almost everyone else had their legs under the table and finally I could savour and record some quietude in my place. The weather wasn't the most enjoyable, but these are the times and I try to make the best out of that."
