Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes

  • 2967: The onset of spring
    Berlin lockdown sound recorded by Masha Sha.
    "Me and my two-year-old son Sasha are sharing this quiet time together. We happened to be in Berlin. Mostly being strong. 
    "I look at Sasha and cannot help thinking that he probably will see more strange things - considering our relationship with the planet. We fully enjoy this moment now - we are recording it. 
    "Now it is Saturday March 24th - 12 o'clock. We opened the window - you can hear inside and outside sounds at the same time. Now  - which I can see already becoming a memory of these strange sad times - when distance is so physical and painful. Uncertainty and suspension. But we are happy being together - sharing company."

  • 2964: The rooster
    Verona, Italy lockdown sound by Alessandra Pinamonte. 
    "I've hated the call of this rooster for many summers, especially since it starts singing at 4.30am... now I like listening to it in the mix of the surrounding natural sounds. These days of enforced lockdown because of Covid-19 accentuate the natural sounds, and that's very beautiful."
