- How's your Portugeek?Rough Trade East conversation reimagined by Leon Muraglia, November 2016."'How's Your Portugeek?' I'm 99% sure that's Portuguese.I was…obviously…wondering what they were talking about…and…obviously…they were talking about records, so I was imagining what the records would sound like. So I used processing on the various parts of conversation that sounded like they fitted: there are sections of ambient, some a bit more techno…I processed some sections using some very rock outboard effects units and plugins …and one cassette machine for the hipsters ;)"3 min
- Talking records in Rough Trade EastConversations about records and music in Rough Trade East, one of London's biggest record stores. Recorded by Cities and Memory.A few moments in the Rough Trade shop. One guy picks up an ambient record made by a Swiss composer in the 1970s. 'I wonder what this sounds like?' he ponders. His friend replies 'looks a bit New Age. Look at that logo!' The third friend pulls out a 12" that looks like a 60s science book for children but is actually a minimal techno record from Slovenia released only last week. 'You'll need some pills for that one!' they laugh. She raises her eyebrows. They point at a French singer's hair on the cover of an 80s compilation. The Rough Trade phone rings and circulates for a few seconds, perhaps a little longer than they wanted. Time, frozen in the perception of a new record cover, seems to repeat itself.2 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.
