Soundscapes vol.7 / selected by @femistopheles

Isolation has got us all living like the undead;

staying in during the day, avoiding people like sunlight, venturing out only for food or a late night graveyard skulk. It has provided many of us with the opportunity to submerge into creative endeavours, to sleep longer in bed and to devote more time to intimacy and our bodies, worshipping our carnal nature.

This should not be seen as a stagnant moment when 2020 was cancelled, but when we slowed down enough to feel the earth move under our feet, when time discarded all meaning and when our collective heartbeat synchronised, unifying with that age old god we so adore: music.
