- 2676: The Building of Future CitiesToronto trams reimagined by Simon Woods."The piece is in three sections.The initial section is piano and strings representing the present-day Toronto / Degrassi street. The trams and motorbike go by."This is followed by the ‘Building of Future Cities’ section of construction. The tram still goes by but now is a lot quicker."The final section returns to the initial theme but now piano and synths in a more modern style, representing the new future city. The tram still goes by but even faster. The motorbike is still at the same speed – the speed limits haven’t changed."Part of the Future Cities project (https://www.citiesandmemory.com/future-cities) .7 min

- 2674: Interference under a CoverSamarkand bazaar reimagined by Rohit Gupta."Through this piece I work on the idea of interference. Since the field recording I chose is of a closed market space (bazaar), it inspired me to think about how we bring personal into a public space and in turn it creates a complex space as a result of engagement of voices, sounds, expectations, curiosities etc with each other."Part of the Future Cities project - see more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/future-cities5 min

- 2672: Budapest Tram Ride with Maria Ponce and BasslingBudapest tram reimagined by Bassling."Trams are a sound the signifies change in one the biggest cities near me, as this form of transport recently returned to the CBD of Sydney after nearly a century. The tram ride recording by Maria Ponce suggested a looped chord progression with a couple of stops and I kept myself to single trips with single takes on each instrument. Then afterwards I worked on keeping a sense of hopping on and off the tram."Part of the Future Cities project (http://www.citiesandmemory.com/future-cities) .3 min

About Cities and Memory - remixing the world
From the publisher's feed
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.
