Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2295: Grey seals and their pupsRecorded by George Vlad."Grey Seals and their pups at Horsey Beach. Recorded with Telinga reflector and Twin Science Cardioid capsule into Sound Devices 302 and Sony PCM D100."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Harshil Gudka on Unsplash2 min
- 2294: Frog Night AssemblyRecorded by Gregory Kramer."This recording was made at night in a remote part of the Bushveld in Limpopo Province, South Africa. This excerpt is taken from a point at which no people were around, so any sounds besides the frog calls are from passing fauna (e.g. birds, bats, insects, etc.)."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by GERONIMO SERRANO on Unsplash20 min
- 2293: Traces, Patterns, CallsReimagined by Anthony Lyons."The original recording of ‘Fireflies and Cicadas at Night’ captured a wonderful sound mass of activity. I became interested in the little moments where discernible rhythms, melodies and sound patterns would briefly emerge from the texture. My response applies spectral and granular processes to the recording to magnify some of these micro details and then re-layers and re-composes with them. The piece begins by isolating harmonics from the original recording – single vertical slithers of sound (like points of Firefly light in the dark). These slithers of sound build into a dense and pulsating sound mass with the unaltered parts of the original recording appearing briefly towards the end."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature4 min
- 2292: FårvindReimagined by Richard Watts."I've based the piece on the sound of the wind in the original recording and overlayed bird sounds and sheep sounds. I wanted to create a feeling of memory with the bird sounds echoing behind the sound of the wind. 'Memories on the wind' type of feeling."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature5 min
- 2291: Reimagined dawn chorusReimagined by AJ Born."What to do with this beautiful 20 minute long sound of birds? I used Audacity and combined these sounds:1 Original Sound2 Duplicate a major third higher3 Duplicate Reverb (Cathedral)4 Duplicate Reverse5 Duplicate Echo6 Stretch a part by factor 5I added some fade in and fade out in the end. Now it is still 20 minutes long and has a completely changed attitude."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash20 min
- 2291: DreamReimagined by Karhide." The half awake, half asleep reimagining of the creek frogs as I fall asleep."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Pascal van de Vendel on Unsplash3 min
- 2288: Taylor Creek frogsRecorded by James Bailey."Several frogs and many varieties of birds; dawn chorus."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Pascal van de Vendel on Unsplash7 min
- 2290: Binaural Dawn Chorus in a Coastal Native Forest in Waipatiki, NZRecorded by Benny Jennings."A binaural recording of a dawn chorus in a costal native nikau palm forest, in Waipatiki beach, Hawkes Bay, NZ. It is situated in the middle of farm land, and beside the sea so the dawn chorus features a multitude of various birdsongs, both native and non native.Bell birds and Tuis are the most present and distinctive. The snapping and scuffing are actually birds around the microphones feeding in the underbrush.Occasionally a pheasant or a lamb can be heard from the farms in the distance. The slow pulse of the waves on the beach can also be heard from several hundred meters a way."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash20 min
- 2289: Lammhult wind, sheep and birdsRecorded by Johan Krist."It's a recording I made during a walk near Lammhult in Sweden. I positioned myself on the edge of a slope of a meadow that led into one of the many Swedish lakes. You can hear an occasional sheep, seagulls, crows (in the distance). I also placed a microphone to my rear to record birds (finch?) who were flying in the more tree covered, grassland area. On a few occasions there was a cricket rustling about in the grass close to the microphone. What also can not be missed are the trees bustling about as it was a quite windy day."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature17 min
- 2288: Creature concert at Doi Suthep national parkRecorded by Marcel Gnauk."Sometimes I couldn’t listen with headphones anymore because it is so intense if you can hear the cracking in the woods. All these thousand little eyes in the darkness looked at me and some of the animals probably thought. Who is that Guy? It was so nice to see all the fireflies flying around and listen to them “singing” together with the night cicadas and other creatures and making the forest to a concert. I totally forgot that I stand here in the darkness with no light at all and holding the mics in the air."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature4 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.
