- 2219: Cock fight in BaliRecorded by Marcel Gnauk."When I arrived a crowd of 50 people are already here and the first fight was over. Until a fight, it takes a long time because of the referees who are sitting in the middle of the ring and deciding what rooster fight each other. More and more people showed up and you can listen to the crowd and roosters in the baskets.If two roosters are chosen each of them gets a sharp knife on one leg and because roosters have a natural aggression to each other and they fight immediately or jump on each other.A fight is not longer than two minutes and if one of the roosters runs away they put both together in a basket until one of them dies!"Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature15 min

- 2218: A Swan's Electric DreamReimagined by Unsound Collective."The sound piece invites the listener to picture a scene at the pond, within the multitude of birds chanting, a swan falls slowly asleep and its dream begins, the journey goes through a few phases before the sudden awakening."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature11 min
- 2218: SpringWalkReimagined by thequietwood."I always go for a brisk walk in my local woods when ever I can, and for some reason my music of choice to accompany such walks has tended to be early 90's electronic stuff. Sometimes I would hear the infamous "loon" sfx within those records and have to remove headphones and check that the sound wasn't coming from the woods themselves. The high pitched bird song from the woods would always mingle with the music being piped into my ears and the patterns of calls and response often seemed to enhance the music or be wonderfully in tune and on time. I've attempted to recreate all of those experiences here. The main synth riff is bird notes converted to melody."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Andy Holmes on Unsplash.5 min
- 2218: Heat & Sea - Θερμότητας και θάλασσαςReimagined by Ian Dean"The sound of cicadas in long hot Athens days when you can hear the heat. I created sounds derived from cicadas overlaid with half-submerged city sounds, featuring a Greek island folk song 'Thalassaki mou' (My Little Sea) the prayer of a mother asking for the safe return of her son."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Sander Crombach on Unsplash.8 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.
