Will Cohen - Silence in Covent Garden (England)

from #StayHomeSounds (volume 1) by Cities and Memory

/

about

Will Cohen made a series of recordings around London just before the Covid-19 lockdown in March, to capture the changing sounds of a city dealing with the coronavirus pandemic.

"In the final days before London was shut down in March 2020, I made sound recordings of areas that I care about as a Londoner. From documenting spots that I skated at as a teenager, through to areas I have worked in - I wanted to see what familiar sounds still resonated at this unprecedented time. I used the binaural microphone technique - if you close your eyes and imagine, the physics behind this method of sound capture will immerse you in a 3D stereo environment pictured in the stills that I took on my journey."

"Packed with antiques and craft stalls, Covent Garden is usually buzzing with people on holiday looking for something to remember from their trip, The Apple Market is at the centre of this iconic shopping, food and cultural destination."
