Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2246: An eye witness account for the MetroReimagined by Marg Laing."This piece is compiled entirely from the source material.I used Reaper to cut and reassemble the story as I heard it.The original recording is so beautiful that I don’t think a human hand can ever do it justice.And so am reminded: man can not recreate the earth; we have a duty to care for it.It is best heard with headphones."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Hans Veth on Unsplash1 min
- 2245: Hyena chorusRecorded by Daan Hendricks."Hyenas calling each other into the night, set to a background of frogs and crickets, recorded right next to a small river littered with hippos, and frequented by elephants and buffalo throughout the night.Recorded in May 2015, Dijara, close to Moremi/Okavango Delta, Botswana, roughly around midnight.MKH8040 ORTF into Tascam DR680."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Hans Veth on Unsplash3 min
- 2244: Cape fur sealsRecorded by Daan Hendricks."Namibia, Cape Cross, 2015There is a great sadness to the context of the sounds that are shared below, and it is somehow fittingly expressed by their whimpers, weeps and growls, seemingly conveying both sorrow and aggression. There is a culling in place in this so-called protected reserve, resulting in thousands of deaths each year by the hands of man, using clubs as their blunt tools to butcher these animals to death.The incredulous explanation of the Namibian government for this policy is that these seals simply are too numerous, their food consumption resulting in losses to the local fishing industries. Even if we would attempt to consider this explanation as vaguely reasonable, the severity of these damages are disputed, and provide regardless no justification as to why this specimen of a human being (www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pla…ded&v=3nWfFqowjQg) is profiting from the cull."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Karen Lau on Unsplash2 min
- 2243: Xocotitla Bird SoundRecorded by Fernando Gonzalez Garcia.We can hear the song and calls of different species of birds at sunrise in the Xocotitla natural reserve, in the municipality of Paso de Ovejas, Veracruz, Mexico. This is a voluntary conservation reserve characterized by the presence of low deciduous forest and pastures. You can also hear frogs, insects and other anthropogenic sounds. June 30/2018."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature20 min
- 2242: Looping Drozdy FrogsReimagined by Auguste Oldham."The cinematic spacious sound in the recording was what originally inspired this piece, using specific sections of the raw recording to create multiple tape loops then recomposing these looping moments over and amongst each other. This process felt like an amplification and quantization of nature."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Sandy Millar on Unsplash7 min
- 2241: Tide of airReimagined by Jenny Abouav."For this composition i have choose to focus on the capacity of sound to translate the space in a other way.We jump under the water and inside of this release of air, middle of this confluence that I perceive as a place of transition. It is about feeling the sensation of being submerged under and inside an element as if we were entering this air release that flows with the tide where the Peat meets the Lough in Scotland."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature9 min
- 2241: Bracadale Peat BagpipesRecorded by James Davoll."This is where the peat meets the Lough creating a release of air on tidal changes."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature9 min
- 2240: Frogs in Drozdy Park"Drozdy forest park is a wonderful place full of small waterfalls, winding canals and rivers, ancient oak trees and pines. It is a place where lots of interesting nature sounds are concentrated on. Unfortunately, you couldn't be totally free to record what you want here because the presidential residence is located near there and of you'll draw attention you may have some problems with security. Nevertheless, I have managed to take a great late-night soundscape, sitting near beautiful swamp and enjoying the beauty of Belarussian nature.Zoom H6 + Roland CS 10EM" Recorded by Christine Brihier.Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Sandy Millar on Unsplash7 min
- 2239: Cockatoos and Murray Cod at Ulupna IslandThe setting is soon after sunrise beside the Murray River in Victoria, Australia at a location called Ulupna Island in the Barmah National Park, which is the largest River Red Gum forest in the world. You can hear a variety of birds, particularly Cockatoos, as well as the creaking of a branch in the River. Near the end a fish jumps out of the water, which is thought to be a young Murray Cod.

- 2238: On the coast of the Gulf of Finland"During my first-ever trip to Saint Petersburg I had a chance to visit a small resort town Sestroretsk where the cold severe Gulf of Finland is situated on. It was in the middle of july but weather was really bad, the wind was strong and it was raining all the time.Nevertheless, it was well worth it.Recorded with Zoom H6 and Roland CS 10EM"Recorded by Christine Brihier.Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature5 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.
