- 2018: L'AscensioneThe stairs inside the Duomo of Milan, reimagined by Vladlen Tepes."Original recording of climbing the stairs of the Duomo cathedral is playing through the entire track, resonates with my Eurorack modular gear to create a drone pad and with some delay for occasional rhythm.

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.
