about

Oxford lockdown sound recorded by Cities and Memory.

"In the UK, people are only allowed out for food shopping, medical appointments or for one form of exercise per day, as part of the coronavirus lockdown.

"One of the few nice things about the lockdown is a chance to discover or rediscover the beauty of the area in which you live - what are the little pockets to uncover, and where can the moments of peace be found in your local area?

"This recording is from an eco-cooperative just ten minutes from where we live, where usually you'll find a thriving cafe, families enjoying themselves and people tending the community garden.

"Today, the wind turbine that provides some of the power to the cooperative is the only sound, as the area is deserted, and this beautiful, multi-tonal sound is oddly haunting when the area is abandoned as it is today."
