PCM M 10
Christmas I look forwards to for a lot of reasons but an extra for me is how unusually quiet it is, making for a good opportunity to record and document the relative silence. This year however was an exception and I didn’t bother. I think there are a couple of reasons for the unexpected extra urban noise this year; 1. this year was hit quite badly (for the UK at least) by snow meaning that many seasonal travellers had postponed their journeys until Christmas day, or 2. general urban noise levels are increasing and have increased appreciatively in the last 12 months. Although general urban noise is agreed generally to be on the rise I hope this doesn’t indicate an exponential increase.
Here’s hoping for next year.
