Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2216: Sheep DailyReimagined by Myroslava Kuts."Sound of sheep was a clear beat for me. Also I think sheep have a pretty intense daily life. We just don't see."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Tim Marshall on Unsplash5 min
- 2216: Beneath the Rich CoastReimagined by Ian Haygreen."I played the original piece 3 octaves under A4 for the background sound. I also isolated a couple of standout parts which I used for the booms and also the repetitive shaking sound. I also added a couple of unused pieces to it."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Aperture Vintage on Unsplash9 min
- 2216: CoffeeReimagined by Jason Richardson (Bassling)."The sound of cicadas jamming their last tune inspired me to make a big messy jam of my own on drums and bass. Also, all I know of Costa Rica is their coffee, so I brought some of that energy too."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature5 min
- 2216: Sunrise intimationsReimagined by Laura Luna."This field recording together with its description inspired me to compose a piece about the slightly anxious yet motionless moments when one is awake before sunrise, as the world around us has been continually ebullient. Slicing the recording into tiny loops, then stitching them back together, a kaleidoscope of sunrises begins to emerge, the somnolent stillness converges with the chaotic energy of the woken world."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Zaji Kanamajina on Unsplash8 min
- 2216: Raw Innocence"The rain, the magic orchestra of million drops, when I'm in the rain I close my eyes and try to listen to the layers of the sounds, a perfect moment, no time no space, a mystical conversation, an ethereal connection." Reimagined by John Vlastaris.Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by JanFillem on Unsplash9 min
- 2216: Lake District lambsLambs and sheep bleat in a field in the middle of the Lake District - recorded by Cities and Memory.Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Tim Marshall on Unsplash4 min
- 2216: Spooky Costa RicaRecorded by Marcel Gnauk."I went out at 2am with my recorder and walked around the house to get this kind of scary sounding wind noise between the trees and the bushes! Besides the wind sound, something was in the bushes I think it was a raccoon or who knows maybe a crocodile?6 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.
