A morning in Adelaide, 22nd March 2020

Adelaide lockdown sound recorded by Tristan Louth-Robins.

"This is a recording from the Adelaide suburb of Parkside. It was made on my upstairs balcony in a block of six town houses at 10am on Wednesday, 22 March 2020. 

"It was a bright and sunny Autumn morning with a very faint breeze. In this recording you can hear the lively birdsong of lorikeets, honeyeaters, finches and native pigeons. 

"Traffic can be heard *very* faintly to the right of the field, whilst a solitary car will travel up our street every few minutes. A smattering of human activity can be heard in the foreground of the recording, but a steady continuum of activity comes from our next door neighbours daughter practicing on an upright piano with their front door open. You may also hear the sound of surfaces creaking/expanding from the warmth of the sun."
