- Daydreaming in Baker Street stationBy Thomas Haighton."Most of the sounds are build by using parts of the original field recording as base material.The different pads in the first part of the piece are build from resonant frequencies that are audible when the train stops at the platform. These are combined with a sample from the original field recording where you can hear people walk around and talk, which gives it sort of altered reality feeling. This is boosted by processing the voice of the announcements. The second part is build on the basis of the audio cue/ beeps that can be heard when train doors open/close, which by various processing methods is transformed into noisey textured drones. Different harmonies emerge from the noise which reminded me of a combination of the different frequencies that arise from the noise a train engine produces and the sound police sirens make."Part of our project The Next Station, reimagining the sounds of the London Underground and creating the first ever tube sound map.

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.
