Audio Essay East Vancouver Dispatch: Ecotones and Subsistence Zones
This audio essay acoustically investigates a neighborhood in Vancouver, Canada, during COVID-19. The soundmarks of the neighborhood changed when pub-crawlers and brunch-goers started isolating at home. A sense of quiet was dispelled when other flows became apparent. This soundscape dispatch focuses on a shift in soundscape from human leisure sounds to increased foot traffic to the nearby bottle depot and copper scrapyard. As COVID-19 measures unfolded, wheel carts rattled more frequently throughout the day. This changed environmental ambience, while conveying information about street economies during COVID-19. The change in acoustic ambience raises grounded questions about whose sheltering has been supported by government programs; which industries and activities have been seen as “high-risk” or “essential” and how essential access has been defined; and how income and activities that aren’t codified in social support regimes are rationalized/obscured, while also impacting people’s safety and ability to shelter.
