What is the sound of absence? …

… was the question that Peter Kiefer, head of the group ARS (art research sound) at the Mainz Music School asked when the first lockdown of the Covid-19-pandemic came into place. All the perspectives collected in this compilation are individual and mirror the different situations in the different countries. The situation in Bogota, Frankfurt, Kobe, New York, London, Nairobi and Vilnius were all different, as are the fates by those affected by the pandemic. But this pandemic is also something we all experience and in our different experiences we are united.
