— I recently discovered that the hundred or so metal tables lining the riverfront walkway in New York City’s East River Park unintentionally make melodious tones when hit in the proper way. A pleasant surprise that became a fascination. Each table seems to produce a unique resonating gong-like sound depending on the place, intensity, and frequency of how and what they are struck with. — The tenth brief but intense journey highlights these “banging tables” along with the other background noises that come with life in NYC during the global pandemic lockdown. The city parks that have remained open are a place to exercise and get some fresh air. They are also heavily policed to enforce social distancing and buzzing with joggers. It was quite humorous trying to be inconspicuous while capturing high quality audio clips for this episode. — Headphones are a must for a full stereo experience. Close your eyes, relax, let your ears take it in, and feel free to ease into city slumber. — Contact: [email protected] Instagram: @beach.108
