Zurich lockdown sound recorded by Olga Stefan.

"While hiking on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I stopped suddenly and surrendered to the cacophony of sounds engulfing me: birds, wind, insects, and the distant traces of humanity. I was in a world very far away from the madding crowd, a world away from the present, but of the past and future."
