- Fear of flyingDaniel Williams reimagines his sound of a flight from Bristol airport, October 2015:"The original recording is actually made up of two tracks. The first is a standard stereo take from the inside of the aircraft, whilst the second is a simultaneous Mono recording from a contact mic on the floor of the plane. I have adjusted the volumes on the two recordings so we move between them as the track progresses.As I recorded this, absorbing in my headphones the wall of sound emanating from the plane. I considered how if the "broadband" noise of the planes engines contains amplitudes in all frequency ranges. Then it must be possible to break them down and isolate just a few, Before reconstructing them into that hellish roar.The memory piece is a result of me messing around with this concept using a comb filter and a frequency shifter."7 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.
