Australian lockdown sounds recorded by Jon Panther. 

"While visiting a friend in Mullumbimby Creek NSW we went for frequent evening walks into the bush capturing audio imagery for our online streaming project: "TheGenerativeCollaborationMachine". 

"This is one of our evenings sitting upon the ridge as the sun retreated toward the horizon listening to lorrakeets and corrawongs while watching countless varieties of butterflies dancing between the shrubs. 

"There was no sense of a connection to any emergency up there in the beautiful Northern Rivers region. On return to Sydney NSW the fallout was beginning to bite mainly due to inadequate Government response. We feel a strong sense of lack of leadership here in Australia. We seem to be taking our cues from New Zealand."
