Coronavirus – how does it sound?

In a series of entries, the “Pitchfork” portal covers the impact of coronavirus on the recording industry, festival circulation, club scene, student radios; “Resident Advisor” monitors in various texts the impact of a pandemic on various aspects of club music and culture (selected by us below the text for probably the best starting point for various thematic topics), “Stereogum” published a description of the situation of the contemporary indie scene in the US, and “VAN” prepared the entire calendar of online classical music broadcasts. We suggest three texts. Greg Baum in the text for “The Age” touches, based on broadcasts, sports games without any spectators, recommendations of changes in the sound landscape in a unique draw. In turn, Christin Kearney in the text for “Guardian” looks at the developing practices of taming a pandemic by collective singing and music making over the limited possibilities during time of isolation.
