- Adrift in DjupivogurDjupivogur art installation, reimagined by Flora Henderson."Adrift in Djúpivogur – for Djúpivogur Oil Drum Sound Art Installation, shakuhachi, cello and piano.Music is “humanly organised sound” (John Blacking 1995:56) – and that includes textures, from the rough to the smooth, – as well as pitches, rhythm, and the Japanese musical aesthetic of ‘ma’ (the space-between-the-sounds). For this work, the sounds of the sound art installation presented a whole textural sonic event, which I wanted to maintain but through the introduction of additional musical textures and pitches to create changing tensions, resolutions and spaces.I composed this using Logic 9 on a Mac. All the instruments were performed and recorded by me."5 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.
