Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2342: What The Cranes Are Actually SayingYellowstone cranes reimagined by Leon Muraglia."Slowed down 320,000 times, we can actually hear, for the first time, what some have suspected - that cranes are planning to overthrow the human race and take over planet earth. Recorded audio was processed using outdated but comfy software - no external sounds were added. And no cranes were harmed."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.5 min
- 2341: Sandhill Cranes, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service.About a dozen cranes feed and splash in a marshy area in Lamar Valley. One bird flaps its wings and appears to chase another bird; the powerful wing beats can be heard before two birds begin to call.Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.1 min
- 2340: Cries from the deepCastle geyser reimagined by Jimmy Peggie."I was inspired by the idea that the world is speaking to us directly via the geyser in Yellowstone - and about its message to mankind regarding the path of destruction we are on. For this I took the original recording and cleaned it up."I then looked for segments that were interesting. I ran these through various processors (both software and modular) and then chose the ones that I thought worked best for the piece."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.6 min
- 2339: Castle Geyser, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service.A major eruption of Castle Geyser can last over an hour. Here we offer the sounds of the steam phase, which occurs as an eruption is winding down.Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.3 min
- 2338: Help us feed and clothe our peopleBison rut reimagined by Joel Graham."I read about the Hopi tribe of Native Americans extending their influence into the Yellowstone area from New Mexico and Arizona. The modified Hopi chant is from a 1926 recording of unknown origin.Bison were and are such an integral part of Native American culture and lore, that I thought the "Rut" would be a perfect praying time for them.The field recording was used in both a spirit form (processed background) and the original form (guttural foreground)I recorded the bells myself and added them to the dancers for this project."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.Photo by Chloe Leis on Unsplash2 min
- 2338: 8,991 km²Mountain bluebird reimagined by Daryn Brown."I treated the original sound three ways. i isolated the birdsong from the background noise and stretched it 400%. i put the birdsong audio through a filter/gate which made a percussive texture. i converted the birdsong to midi which gave me a rhythmic pattern to assign other sounds too. I've always found birdsong inspiring but what came out of this recording was a total surprise."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.Photo by Benoit Gauzere on Unsplash5 min
- 2336: Bison rut, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service.Male bison "bellow" in order to announce their presence and establish dominance in a herd. During the mating season or "rut," bellowing becomes more prevalent, creating a signature sound of midsummer in Yellowstone.Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.Photo by Chloe Leis on Unsplash2 min
- 2335: Mountain bluebird, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service.Listen for the low chirp of a Mountain bluebird in the Lower Slough Creek Valley.Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.Photo by Benoit Gauzere on Unsplash1 min
- 2334: Cerberus IIVeteran geyser reimagined by Gregory Kramer."The sound of Veteran Geyser at Yellowstone National Park is evocative. The roiling, bubbling accompanied by panting gusts of air reminds me of a portal to a fantastic world. Starting with this sound, I continued the journey through tunnels, chambers and caverns, using electronic sounds to describe further reaches of this imagined world."Part of the Yellowstone project - see www.citiesandmemory.com/yellowstone for more.10 min
- 2333: Veteran geyser, YellowstoneRecorded by National Park Service.Veteran Geyser has a distinct sound signature in-between eruptions. Listening to this geyser, you might almost think it’s alive.

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.
