Sounding Belfast During Covid-19: Lockdown 1 and 2<\/h1>

The governmental regulations of business closures, distance from people, and Stay-At-Home orders emptied the urban environment from the presence of people. This effectively created new sonic relationships between natural and urbanised sounds within our built society. <\/p>\n

As Covid-19 has instilled a state of abandonment from our urban spaces with each variation of lockdowns, there was an opportunity to document these changes through a sonic-journalistic approach. <\/p>\n

The research is developed through artistic practice-led creative projects which captures the transitional events of Lockdown 1 and Lockdown 2, between March\u2014October 2020, in Belfast, Northern Ireland. There are 15 locations and 41 audio-photographic files captured during this period which focus on the perception and observations of Covid-19 and the sonic effect on urban spaces. <\/p>\n

This collection of material benefits the documentation of place through sensory information and distributed onto online platforms such as soundmaps, which allow for revision and reflection of changes on a communal scale. The creative projects also provide a timeframe on how each of the lockdowns have changed our relationship with our urban spaces during a global pandemic, accounting for the regulations and distancing from others in order to combat the virus. <\/p>\n

This paper discusses the creative procedures of capturing material during the events of Covid-19, with a critical discussion on the sonic relationships of urban spaces and the perception of sounds in our surrounding environment.<\/p><\/p><\/div>
