Ambient Soundscape of Times Square
I pray everyone is heathy and safe. New York is changing, rapidly I might add. I can say Old New York and if you live here, you’d think I was talking about 2019. For the last 5 years or so I’ve been recording the ambient sounds of New York. It’s been awhile since I put out one these soundscapes. This recording is a few years old. My plan was to amass like 52 of them and release an episode every week. But since things are changing so fast, New York isn’t going to sound like it used to for a very long time. In this episode I’m sharing the sounds of Time Square. It’s a good listen. For some, it may help even help them sleep. I just want to say thank you to the folks that are heading over to Apple Podcast to rate the show. Every time someone does that it helps put the show in a better ranking and helps us grow the audience. Your kind words and support are much appreciated, thank you. Alright boppers, I’m outta here… Be Safe
