- 2401: Horseback riders (Andy Lyon reimagining)Horse-drawn wagon reimagined by Andy Lyon."I've used a grain sampler in Hollyhock 3 DAW with automation of the speed/gain and pitch/grain controls routed to 4 send effects to process the recording. Altering the pitch and speed of the recording produces some interesting and unusual results, it alters the perception of time whilst retaining the theme of galloping horses. I've then layered orchestration to compliment and contrast, keeping it subtle so the focus is on the processed recording."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.Photo by Randy Fath on Unsplash10 min

- 2399: Water SoulsGeyser Hill reimagined by Kim Rueger."The cyclical sound of the field recording - looping bubbles and drips, rising and falling in random patterns - led me to create this meditation, made solely from the sound of the water itself.All parts in this piece are sections of the Geyser Hill recording; manipulated, processed, and the entire piece composed in the Borderlands Granular app for iPad. Individual streams (of audio) were then rendered out as multitrack stems and re-mixed in a DAW (Sonar), with a few finishing filter and reverb touches.Like its sound source, the piece calls on ancient elements, that bubble and float to the surface. Patterns emerge from the patter. Flowing, oscillating drones give rise to whisper-like voices. In the end, the droning spirits fade back into the rattling mist."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.8 min
- 2398: Geyser Hill, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service."Water outflow on Geyser Hill trickles as it passes underneath the boardwalk. Binaural recording, best heard through headphones."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.2 min

- 2396: A Gaggle for the 21st CenturyCanada geese reimagined by Glenn Sogge."Stretched out to 11-12 times as long with modifications to the partials and filtering as it was being stretched. A reversed copy of the new file was made with the channels swapped. Both files were then modified by a complex effect chain in Native Instruments' Absynth with differences in FX order and some settings for each track.The title was influenced by the metallic sounds suggesting an android or robotic future even for Nature."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.11 min
- 2395: Guitar for Sawmill GeyserSawmill Geyser reimagined by Luis Antero."For this music piece, I used a braguesa, a traditional guitar from the Minho region, Portugal, which I later manipulated with the purpose of building a quiet and minimal ambience. The original recording contributed to this."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.7 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.
