Acerca de esta escucha

 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.

  • Memories of the calm waters

    Memories of the calm waters
    Jun 18 2025
    "Imagine that you are in a boat or canoe on the river, the water goes here and there, it starts in very calm waters, you listen to the birds and float along. Then, gradually, the voyage becomes slightly more agitated, or is it even changing direction? More waves come and the water run fast, but then suddenly you are in still waters again, back in the calm stillness of nature.

    "This piece is inspired from the flowing of the St John River, the longest in eastern Canada that, like many rivers, changes speed and quality during its course, but is mostly calm except for some waterfalls. The recording of birdsong comes from the river, as recorded by Cathy McKelvey. The music was created with a Steinway B grand piano and Ableton Live."

    "The sonic landscape of this audio recording felt very familiar to me, reminding me of wind chimes in my childhood home, and the many feathery neighbors who wake me up in the morning with their cheerful chirps. Special thanks to my friend for their help."
