Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2312: Listening t(hr)o(ugh) architectureBy Stephane Marin.This recording was a part of the site specific installation )) archi_teXtures sonores ((, which took place in L’Usine - CNAREP - Tournefeuille - France in September 2018\. It reflects my interest in listening to (and through) architectures. Architecture considered here as a membrane: a listening medium from the inside to the outside and conversely…I particularly love this recording, firstly full of strength and energy powered by the wind and the traffic in the neighborhood, then back to a more quiet state that makes us discover the inside, the big volume of air, the relative emptiness of the space, and finally its inhabitants.Recorded with a couple of Sennheiser 8020 (AB)s in a SD mixpre6.6 min

- 2305: Clipping insectsReimagined by Robin Parmar."We are bound in a knotted relationship with nature. Nature is "before" us, in the sense that our species arose from an existing field of cellular life. Nature is also "after" us, in the sense that our individual and societal needs create the nature we desire. For this piece, I expressed this Möbius relationship using a feedback system consisting of two guitar pedals: one a delay, the other a resonant filter. The source file is the only material used."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Johnny Bhalla on Unsplash6 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.
