Utebo, Spain lockdown sound recorded by Maria del Castillo.

"From the first moment, in my case, I resigned myself to the situation and opted for a longer stay at home. In Spain, there have been extensions of the fifteen-day confinement: a fairly successful solution for us to accept this new normality little by little.

"I decided to record every day at least one hour with my recorded from my balcony or my terrace. These soundscapes made me realize the increasing chirping of birds, the presence of traffic whenever is allowed and also the increasing relationship between neighbours who chat from side to side of the street."
