Cities and Memory - remixing the world episodes
- 1756: Um Europa keine MauernRecorded by Pedro Oliveira, Bremen, Germany."Protest against racism and strict EU/Germany migration laws.

(No walls around Europe – Permanent right to stay for everyone!)"Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest4 min
- 1755: Israel at Speaker's Corner, Hyde ParkRecorded by Ian Rawes."At Speakers Corner, a man perched on a step-ladder defends the existence of Israel.

- 1754: Reject the President Elect (Portland, USA)Recorded by Benjamin Glas-Hochstettler."Various anti-Trump and anti-Pence chants, plus some percussion and drums towards the end."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest11 min
- 1753: The White BayBuenos Aires march reimagined by Sewon Chung Barrera."The original field recording is a powerful and rhythmic capture of the 1st Musical Decontamination March in Bahía Blanca, Argentina. For the reimagined piece, I wanted to carry that energy and allow it to flow — released into a vast body of water. Inspired by the spirit of this particular protest, I enclosed the sounds within a sonic environment of a nuclear reactor, and then let the sounds carry on — beyond the confines of the imagined walls."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest4 min
- 1752: The Last 1,000 Metres (Madrid)Madrid protest reimagined by Tilla Martin."Protests are a long-term run. The last 1000 meters protest is charged with the emotion and tension of the achievement of such a run. The reimagined Madrid protest is a composition of contrasted scapes : the dense atmosphere of the revolt versus the low, cyclical and everlasting rhythms of the Earth, when they don't both meet in intensity."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest10 min
- 1751: The last 900 metres (Madrid)Recorded by Kamen Nedev."«The Last 900 metres up to Kilometer Zero». A week after the landmark site of the #15M movement, Madrid's Puerta del Sol, was evicted and blocked by the authorities, Madrid's citizens march, once again victoriously, into the square. By now, it is clear that this civil disobedience movement is unstoppable by any legal and licit means. The challenge of where to take things from here is up to us and up to us only. This was an audio-travelling take produced at the end of the demo, while the crowds were triumphantly re-entering the Puerta del Sol square."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest11 min
- 1750: Join the Protest (Belgrade)Belgrade protest reimagined by Simon Woods."The basic concept for the piece is the different instruments join the protest (in a rather strange timing). Each one is contributing something to the protest in its own way / tune / rhythm – making a coherent piece."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest4 min
- 1749: Corruption ne davio beograd, SerbiaRecorded by Chris Wood."The protest was part of the ongoing anti redevelopment / corruption ne davio beograd campaign - https://en-gb.facebook.com/nedavimobeograd/"Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest7 min
- 1748: Scattered Realm (Lisbon)Lisbon Troika protest reimagined by Joseph Connelly."Specific minute percussive sounds and pitches were sampled and arranged to create an initially sparse atmosphere that evolves as elements gather and intensify. A trumpet was also used to record different drones that layer and harmonize with one another, in addition to samples from the recording."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest3 min
- 1747: Against the Troika (Lisbon)Recorded by Carlos Santos."Demonstration with almost 250.000 persons of all classes and origins just in Lisbon, in 2012, against the IMF, European Central Bank and EU (a trio named Troika). It witness the politics enviroment in Portugal during the economic bailout, that lasted 4 years (2011 - 2015) of gradual impoverishment.Recorded in Binaural setup on a zoom H4n, Church audio Binaurals (omni caps), walking along the demonstration."Part of the Protest and Politics project - find out more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/protest19 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.
