Throughout the pandemic, people have been finding such creative and inspirational ways to bring our old lives into our current reality. Yet another beautiful example is imissmybar.com, a simple single-page website that allows the visitor to create their own mix of noise. More specifically, the ambiance of a bar. Seven sliders control the volume of different sounds of bar atmosphere, from “bartender working” to “people talking” to “rain on window”. While I suppose the mix can be played on its own, it only seems appropriate for there to be a music accompaniment. A Spotify playlist is embedded on the page and users can use whatever they want from their desktop or device to create the soundscape of the bar they miss. So simple, so smart, so cool. So easily appreciated… even by those who haven’t been bar regulars for years.
