Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes

  • 3099: The bells of Canmore, Alberta at 7 pm
    Canmore, Canada lockdown sound recorded by Greg Wooley.
    "Canmore is a mountain town, usually filled with tourists - particularly on weekends.  Since the pandemic was declared, nearly all tourist services have ended.  
    "Grocery stores and pharmacies are open, and some restaurants offer take out or delivery service, but that's about it. There has been extremely good local compliance to self-isolation, and when people do go out for a walk they are keeping their distance. We are encouraged by the number of communities world-wide where these protocols are followed. 
    "At 7 pm each evening, people are encouraged to make joyful noise to thank the frontline workers who are still providing essential services, and the downtown Churches are ringing their bells!  Ralph Connor Memorial United Church and St. Michael's Anglican Church both date from the early 1890s, and are among the 4 oldest buildings downtown."

    Epping Forest, England lockdown sound recorded by Andy Popperwell.

  • 3091: An empty spring in Barceloneta
    Barcelona lockdown sound recorded by Javier Acosta.
    "This sound has been recorded in Barceloneta (Barcelona, SP) Beach, in the middle of the Holy Week. Normally, those days Barcelona is completelly full of people specially close to the sea enjoying the good weather, but here you can listen to the sea, the waves and the wind, while you go into the Mediterranean Sea. One of the best experiences I've lived."

  • 3090: Birds in the morning, Malaga
    Malaga lockdown sound recorded by Sara Wehuha.
    "Before COVID-19, I woke up with sound of cars, but after COVID-19 every morning birds are waking me up. 
    "They seem to be more and some friends who study biology told me that it's because now is the time when they travel from Africa on their  migrations. 
    "The only time all day that I stop listening to them is when people go to the balcony to clap their hands at 8pm.
    "Honestly, it's much better to listen to the birds than cars, music from neighbors or people who clap their hands. 
    "Probably, if we need to change something for the future, we must to play attention to care for biodiversity and nature."
