Madrid lockdown sound recorded by Ben Roberts.
"Every night at 19:55 a neighbour across the park becomes a self-appointed master of ceremonies, getting on the mic to address the residents and play his awful commercial pop music!
"This field recording is a document of how a time slot initially dedicated to gestures of support for medics has been 'sonically co-opted'. Recorded on Tandberg Series 12 open reel tape machine, Philips mikes. This is an edited down piece."
