"Dawn:Live" is an audio- and data-focused response to a changing urban soundscape under confinement. A field recording of a daily practice of listening to the dawn chorus (inevitably, in an city context, due to restricted movement) has been transformed into a datascape with data of COVID19-related deaths between February and August 2020.

Unlike more conventional data sonification practices, "Dawn" uses FFT, as well as other spectrum-domain transformations to modify the original recording. Technical details aside, the purpose of "Dawn" is to convey the uncanny sense of something else, something different taking place amid the silenced city soundscape.
