Missing Sounds of New York
As many of us sit in our homes in the coronavirus pandemic, we might be starting to forget what New York sounds like. We no longer hear the cacophony of rush hour traffic, the chatter of a crowded restaurant, nor the rumbling of the subway. Today, the New York Public Library dropped a new Spotify album titled Missing Sounds of New York, a collection of audio landscapes evoking the “daily urban orchestra” of New York.
“It’s a playlist of the sounds of normal New York: the sounds that are literally missing during this period of self isolation, and that New Yorkers are just missing,” said Angela Montefinise, Senior Director of Communications and Marketing at the New York Public Library. “For example, one track is a branch library, another track is a park, another is midtown at rush hour, etc. It’s a way to connect people around a common feeling at this moment, from an organization that for 125 years has chronicled (and been a key part) of New York City life.” -untapped new york
