Hear the Soundscapes of Cities Transformed

Oh hear the city sound see the lonely crowds

I live in NYC. It's super quiet, and I live on a noisy block. I heard sirens in the first weeks. Every day, and since there is little traffic, they would linger. I'd hear them for minutes.

It's not like 9/11, where sirens were everywhere in the first hours. This was every fucking day, mostly in the mornings.

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

It's 7.20am on Saturday, I'm sitting in my tiny garden in East London (something for which I am more grateful than ever in my 16 or so years living in this house). It is so quiet.

So quiet.

The last couple of days have felt a little like the city is waking up, with at least 3 more weeks of lock-down announced people certainly aren't thronging in the streets but I see more people now if i go out for a run or to buy essential supplies. I definitely think there are more cars this week, but it's still so quiet.

So quiet.

I will miss the quiet the it's gone but I will welcome the City back.
