Clap for our NHS, ambisonic recording from London
Apr 07, 2020, 04:15 PM
London lockdown sound recorded by Brian Gilligan.
"The most obvious aural change to my local area is much less traffic and more sirens. On the 26th of March I happened to have my microphone pointing out the living room window to capture this changing soundscape without realising this was the day people would be clapping and cheering to show their appreciation for NHS staff.
"Hearing cheering for miles brought home the seriousness of the situation and made me feel a strong sense of gratitude toward the people working on the front line of this pandemic."
