<div>I woke up early (6AM) to capture and observe the waking city of Sapporo, Japan. I was particularly surprised by the presence of crows, which often sat on the street signs and traffic light poles. Sparse trucks and cars passed along the snowy roads. The calls of the cows echoed off the buildings, yet the city remained quite calm. This recording took place in 2018.

<div>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 7,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 130 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. You can explore the project in full at <a href="http://www.citiesandmemory.com">www.citiesandmemory.com</a>
