Annunciation bird
Apr 07, 2020, 04:03 PM
Ukraine lockdown sound recorded by Vladlen Mytianski.
"This is a recording of a bird singing on a chestnut tree in my backyard. It was recorded today, on the 7th of April. And today is the Annunciation Day in Eastern Orthodox tradition.
"There's a church nearby and you can hear a faint sound of church choir's song on the background. Alas all public gatherings of more than two people are forbidden in Ukraine now and the choir is just a recording that is transmitted over loudspeakers from church.
"Nonetheless it sets the mood for the day. And it may seem that the bird is singing with the choir, nonchalantly oblivious about the things we are worried now.
"And I'm fine and safe. Working from home, doing yoga, recording sounds and making music. Lots of time, energy and optimism for the things I've never had time in the previous months. Hope you're doing fine too. All the best from Ukraine!"
