It&#8217;s been two weeks since she&#8217;s heard the sounds of her family together, and the silence is sometimes deafening.<\/p>\n<p>So, Aguirre, president of Long Beach public radio station KLBP, gave a group of her favorite Long Beach sound selectors a prompt: to share their favorite songs related to loneliness, boredom, isolation as well as holding on to hope. The result was a list of 357 songs and 24 hours of music. The Sound of Solitude.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The last few months I had been working on marketing campaigns for the theatrical releases of documentaries involving Dolly Parton, PJ Harvey, and Ella Fitzgerald,&#8221; Aguirre said. &#8220;Given that no one is going to the movies right now, all of my work sort of abruptly stopped and I found myself with a lot of free time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Sound of Solitude\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/playlist\/6eHHoe73NMJubZFz92fOxh?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Aguirre couldn&#8217;t get the song &#8220;Isolation&#8221; by Plastic Ono Band out of her head, so she finally had a listen, and wondered what other songs she could come up with before inviting her friends in, one of which included a co-founder of Long Beach&#8217;s Music Tastes Good festival, Meagan Blome, who added more than 50 tracks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I called the playlist The Sound of Solitude,&#8221; said Aguirre. &#8220;My own little S.O.S. to the world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tracks like &#8220;Mask Off&#8221; by Future had Aguirre ghoulishly laughing, another favorite is &#8220;A Lot&#8217;s Gonna Change&#8221; by Weyes Blood.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Mask Off\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0VgkVdmE4gld66l8iyGjgx?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: A Lot&amp;apos;s Gonna Change\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5wN3b5AtoOFVCoQW0ldhGD?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The song is mournful for a time when &#8216;no good thing could be taken away,&#8217; but at the same time has an uplifting message that things change and we&#8217;ll be fine because we&#8217;ve got what it takes,&#8221; Aguirre said.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting, the artwork is a monotype print, and while not originally made for The Sound of Solitude, was created by Aguirre&#8217;s partner and local artist Noel Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While I&#8217;ve been sitting at home making the playlist, he&#8217;s been making prints of viruses,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-hours of alone-time listening is also a form of encouragement, urging listeners to support the artists and venues that have taken a hit by not being able to play live.<\/p>\n<p>If you hear something you like, Aguirre wrote on Wednesday when sharing the playlist through Facebook, consider buying the track, the album or other merchandise. Even KLBP, which <a href=\"https:\/\/staging-live.lbpost.com\/hi-lo\/klbp-opens-new-studio-providing-soapbox-for-whoever-needs-it\">recently opened its new studio<\/a> to the public, has had to close to anyone outside of KLBP staff, with no more than one to two essential workers allowed in at a time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope this playlist makes you feel things,&#8221; Aguirre wrote. &#8220;Whether, you cry, laugh, or dance\u2014all the feels are welcome. If you\u2019re feeling isolated and looking for a way to connect with friends and family, consider making your own playlist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Check out The Sound of Solitude, <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6eHHoe73NMJubZFz92fOxh?si=pKANSNXxTFqMNF5gKkdEVw\">here<\/a>.
