Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 2152: Fifty-Nine Degrees NorthFinnish sheep reimagined by Chris Ray (Enisle)."I used the sound in a few ways; the obvious stuttered start, the choral backing and also some gritty distorted backdrop later in the track."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Flavio Gasperini on Unsplash4 min
- 2151: There's something about today that's not quite rightOld forest reimagined by Daryn Brown."I treated the original sound 3 different ways, extreme stretching, filtering and layering effects. these 3 treatments were placed on top of each other, chopped up and arranged to give a feel of some kind of journey. i intended to do something more percussive at first, using the 'woodpecker' sounds but the processes used made my initial ideas go in a different direction."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature6 min
- 2150: This Cornish CoveCornish cove reimagined by Walt Thisney."By choosing this theme, I saw an opportunity to create an atmosphere close to the mood of Virginia Astley's songs in " From gardens ....""Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature7 min
- 2149: ChaosCorvid roost reimagined by Nhung Nyuen."I'm inspired by the idea of how natural sounds are disappearing from where I live. The field recording of roost is processed with generative effects and mixed with layers of found sounds from the streets to create a sense of rush and abstract sonic landscape."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature3 min

- 2145: Robin song (reimagined)Robin song reimagined by Keisuke Oki."I really loved this high tone of birds singing. Its clear voice stimulates my brain and auditory organ. I used a sampler and mixed birds' voice with synthesizer sounds."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-naturePhoto by Biel Morro on Unsplash5 min
- 2144: Colombian Birds (reimagined)Reimagined by Dominic Razlaff."My idea was, to keep the beautiful original field recording in the focus of the finished piece. I created the texture from the original recording (granular synthesis)."Part of the Sounding Nature project - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/sounding-nature7 min
- 2143: Sound landscape - Colombian birds"You can hear at the end of the recording the calls of Troglodytes aedon (house wren), with vocalisations of a blue-headed parrot.

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.
