À propos de ce contenu audio

Cities and Memory remixes the world, one sound at a time - a global collaboration between artists and sound recordists all over the world.

The project presents an amazingly-diverse array of field recordings from all over the world, but also reimagined, recomposed versions of those recordings as we go on a mission to remix the world.

What you'll hear in the podcast are our latest sounds - either a field recording from somewhere in the world, or a remixed new composition based solely on those sounds. Each podcast description tells you more about what you're hearing, and where it came from.

There are more than 8,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 140 countries and territories. The sounds cover parts of the world as diverse as the hubbub of San Francisco’s main station, traditional fishing women’s songs at Lake Turkana, the sound of computer data centres in Birmingham, spiritual temple chanting in New Taipei City or the hum of the vaporetto engines in Venice. You can explore the project in full at www.citiesandmemory.com

    "In this piece I created an ambient soundscape on top of the initial recording this was to add to the relaxation of the waves slowly crashing against the shore."

    "I composed this piece imagining the observational or listening perspective of the field recordist Anders Vinjar in the Bamiyan Valley in Afghanistan, after decades of war in Afghanistan. The recording is from inside the upper part of Shah Mama, near where the head used to be.

    "While composing I tried to imagine the vastness of the region and the passages once used by monks moving through the statues and surrounding caves."
