Rhode Island lockdown sounds recorded by Erik Gould. "This is the sound in my studio space up the street from my house, in Pawtucket, RI USA. "There's the drone-like sound of the 24/7 blower fan of the roof of the microfiber factory across the alley, occasional bangs from a truck getting loaded down below, and way underneath, voices of my neighbors in the downstairs studio. "It's raining and there's a smell of coffee coming through the mill floor. We are in the second week of social distancing in Rhode Island, not a full lock down as yet. "My employer has closed, schools have closed and my daughter is home and transitioning to remote learning. "There are challenges in finding a balance and managing anxiety but so far we are doing okay. Hoping we can slow things down so the hospitals can cope and we all can get through this."
