Placid island 6:15

4d ago6:15

6:15

"The recording is of a tornado warning siren with howling wind and rain. Although we don't get tornadoes in my part of the world, I do enjoy stormy weather- from the comfort of my own cozy home. This is what I imagined when creating this piece: a warm cozy home where you can ignore the chaos going on around you. "The title, "Placid island" is from …

Calm before the storm: Kentucky tornado 5:20

4d ago5:20

5:20

There have been talks of a large storm moving in after many tornadoes had already touched down in the western part of the state earlier that day. Just before midnight, the rain calms down as the clouds lower, and the tornado sirens begin. I sit outside recording the dissonant yet beautiful cacophony of the overlapping sirens while neighbours step o…

Irreversible change 2:54

4d ago2:54

2:54

"Irreversible Change is an ambient track built around a field recording captured at the Pryvoz Market. The natural bustle of the environment is anchored by a sparse, glitchy beat created withthe Air DrumSynth. The rest of the soundscape is shaped by a piano-like Sonic Charge Synplant 2 patch, which floats over the glitchy percussion and the chaotic…

Red earth, white paint 9:37

4d ago9:37

9:37

This recording was made during a Kathakali performance — a traditional Indian theatre art form native to the Malayalam-speaking state of Kerala. It captures a 9-minute percussive piece performed by an ensemble featuring the Chenda and Maddalam, two prominent drums of the tradition, accompanied by the echoing tones of Chengila (gong) and Elathalam (…

Pryvoz market, Odessa 4:16

4d ago4:16

4:16

Recording at Pryvoz Market in Odessa was a mix of emotions. The market buzzed with life, as vendors sold goods and people clung to everyday routines despite the ongoing conflict. There was a sense of resilience in the air, but beneath the bustle, a quiet sadness lingered. It reflected the uncertainty of the war between Ukraine and Russia, casting a…

Dance of the shards 9:55

4d ago9:55

9:55

"In reimagining this field recording, I drew upon the raw power of musique concrète by manipulating and deconstructing the layered sounds from the Kathakali performance. I used noise synths to push these textures into distorted, static-filled territories, creating a sense of immersion that moved away from the traditional and into the realm of sonic…

The Singing of Basilica di Santa Maria 2:08

5d ago2:08

2:08

The sound of religious singing in the Basilica di Santa Maria in Rome. A calm evening in February before the Basilica shuts its doors for the night, I wandered into the near-empty church to record the soothing sounds of religious hymns that seeped into the dimly lit streets of Rome. Recorded by Andrew Ramsey.…

Closing time 4:59

5d ago4:59

4:59

"Upon first hearing the Santa Maria field recording, I felt a strong sense of place. It was as if I were right there in Rome. I cut a section of the field recording and used the priest's words and the loudest plainchant singing to compose a story song. To create a character and add atmosphere, I added a short recording of my own footsteps walking. …

Hong Kong dawn chorus 2:02

5d ago2:02

2:02

|The recording is made in the night, we hear a chorus of morning birds with some unique vocalisations, the perspective is typical for Hong Kong which is defined by skyscraper architecture, this recording was made from an apartment on the 18th floor through the window, which gives an indirect impression - an observation in sound of city going quiet …

Too many Koel calling 2:02

5d ago2:02

2:02

"The original soundscape contains the call of the Asian Koel, a bird whose song is highly characteristic of Hong Kong, my hometown. This distinctive, rising 'ko-el' call, heard at dawn during the springtime, carries a strong personal resonance; it often signalled the arrival of the sun as I worked into the early hours. "For this composition, I drew…

Streets of Cairo tales: The Jinn and Anthony Eden 4:56

5d ago4:56

4:56

"The original soundtrack I used from Cities & Memory's archive was recorded on a street in Cairo at sunset, outside the Marriott Hotel and Omar Khayyam casino, on Saray El Gezira Street. The famous Gezirah Palace was completed in 1869 by Khedive Ismail, to host dignitaries for the opening of the Suez Canal that year. When I first listened to this p…

The golden hour 3:44

6d ago3:44

3:44

The field recording upon which this piece is based doesn't sound like much, but it represents a huge moment for the Cities and Memory project, and a personal moment for me. The first ever overseas recording submitted to the project back in 2015 was from Sofienbergparken in Oslo, and it felt incredible that the project had managed to reach anyone ou…

A special moment in Sofienbergparken 5:10

6d ago5:10

5:10

A special recording for me - the very first recording from outside the UK submitted to Cities and Memory in 2015 was from Sofienbergparken in Oslo. It seemed like a dream that not only had the project somehow managed to cross borders, but had also made a connection of some kind, so to me even this humble city park held a kind of magic. To go there …

Quiraing sunrise 3:25

"Having enjoyed family holidays on Skye in the past I was immediately drawn to this recording as Quiraing is one of those places that makes you really appreciate what an amazing thing this planet is. "Catch a good sunrise/sunset and it's genuinely breathtaking. I wanted to try and capture just a little bit of that feeling in my piece." Quiraing, Is…

Nobuo in the between 2:39

6d ago2:39

2:39

"The spacious, off-tempo, off-tune malaise of the Wakimachi field recording creates an in-between space that mirrors Japanese Canadian performance artist Nobuo Kubota’s reflections on childhood memories and the threshold between cultures and languages." Nighttime soundscape in Wakimachi reimagined by Emiko Morita.…

Mirage 3:54

6d ago3:54

3:54

"The original field recording had a mesmerising quality that pulled me toward Bamiyan’s complex and fascinating history. I wanted my remix to encapsulate the emotions I experienced along the way. The piece is a very minimal, improvised song, centred on one instrument supported by a time-stretched slice of the field recording." Church of the Holy Se…

20:00

Captured deep within Kichua tribal territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this nocturnal soundscape reveals a hidden world that awakens after dusk. Above, bats flicker through the darkness, their wings slicing the air in delicate beats. Insects surge into a symphony of pulses and hums — sharp, electric, as though the forest itself were alive with circ…

"For reasons I can't fathom when I heard this sound file I instantly thought of Moondog. So this is my attempt at a Moondog type composition - almost mathematical in approach. The title is a quote from the 1959 film 'Hiroshima Mon Amour' which explores themes of memory, love, and the lasting trauma of war." Lecture in Hiroshima City reimagined by A…

Lecture of young female student, Hiroshima 5:07

6d ago5:07

5:07

This is a recorded audio of a presentation by a fourth-year female university student in Japan. I became interested in the audio aspects of her powerful and rhythmic delivery, which reflected her confidence in her research. In the contradiction between her confidence and anxiety about her first presentation, I found an intriguing aspect of universi…

Atop the famous Quiraing, after a climb of hundreds of metres, we reach the summit, with incredible views on all sides. Here we record the sound of a small stream, which are frequent across the surface of the plateau at the top of the Quiraing, and contribute to the sometimes-boggy going underfoot. Recorded on the Isle of Skye, Scotland by Cities a…

"Recorded deep inside Kichwa territory in the Ecuadorian Amazon, this nocturnal soundscape draws the listener into the forest’s hidden hours - where every sound carries the presence of something living, alert, and unseen. "When darkness settles over the canopy, the rainforest begins its slow transformation. Bats cut swift paths through the night, t…

Blue Monserrate 2:59

6d ago2:59

2:59

"The field recording I started with was the Blue Mountains Portal Lookout in Australia. What I found inspiring about this recording is the pointillist long tones created by the insects. Specifically, the contrast between the theoretically relaxing sounds of nature and the reality of how intense the sounds become. "I played the original sound, layer…

Pontis (2025) 6:00

10d ago6:00

6:00

"In Latin, 'Pontis' not only refers to a physical bridge, but also a metaphorical crossing - a psychological parallel between lived reality and its parallel, hyper-real counterpart. My work explores the threshold of human imagination, and the subtle ways our perceived reality changes when consuming art. When reading or listening to material, our ps…

"When I listened to this beautiful recording of the Pharo bells of Marseille, I immediately felt transported to the south of France, which I recently visited and adore. The memories of those places surfaced together with the splendid sound of the different bells ringing over the sea, forming a simple and delicate melody. "This piece grows from that…

19:48

By day, high atop one of the tallest trees in the Waorani tribal territory of the Ecuadorian Amazon, the forest opens into a vast cathedral of sound. From this canopy — a sacred perch where countless birds pass by — the air vibrates with a living symphony. Wings beat the open sky, calls echo and overlap, and melodies shimmer in constant motion. Eac…

"Right from the first listen, I was struck by the sheer variety and strangeness of the natural sounds of the Ecuadorian forest. Some of them already seemed like electronic sounds in their own right. " I therefore approached my processing by keeping the original recording unaltered and superimposing layers of electronic material that respectfully so…

Chant d’automne 7:48

10d ago7:48

7:48

"To create this sound piece, I sampled the rhythms from the field recording and turned them into a loop. I detuned it slightly. I isolated a fragment of the voice from the recording and altered it as well. With these two elements, I added synthesizers with heavy reverb and distortion. The whole piece sits on the edge of the industrial genre; the tr…

Sleeping on a starlit tide 5:57

13d ago5:57

5:57

"As I was browsing the Cities and Memory sound library, I had an LFO patch quietly looping in the background. When the field recording Lonely Beach surfaced, it fell into place with the glitchy texture I was shaping, just like the sound of ropes creaking on a sailing boat at night! "From that accidental pairing, the track began to write itself. I t…

"Whenever anyone speaks of Auschwitz, I always picture the iconic Arbeit Macht Frei Gate; an image linked to the atrocities associated with the holocaust. I have never been to Auschwitz, but when I heard the field recording I was instantly transported there. I found the sounds so evocative and tried to imagine how it must have felt for those indivi…

Gentle waves on Lonely Beach 3:24

At Lonely Beach on Koh Rong, the waves reach the shore in soft, unhurried patterns. Each swell rises and falls with calm consistency, a natural rhythm that soothes the mind. The beach is quiet and open, with only the sea’s gentle presence filling the air. It is a place of quiet retreat, where the sound of the ocean encourages rest and relaxation. R…

Concrete ghosts 4:48

13d ago4:48

4:48

"In the field recording, there was a conversation that felt like reminiscing. I say it felt that way because I do not speak the language. I loved the contrast between that dialogue and a shouting voice at the start and end that sounded desperate for someone's attention. "The shout itself could have been anything, a chant, a protest, or even a stall…

Yangzhou, Guqiting Street 4:41

13d ago4:41

4:41

This intriguingly named street runs along a small river, perhaps now demolished and rebuilt. Once likely a standard six-step-wide street, it’s now a maze of residents’ makeshift additions, typical of old districts but still clean and tidy. At the junction of narrow alleys, elderly voices drift from homes, chatting over lunch in refined Yangzhou dia…

Oslo bench life 11:59

"The original field recording is sparse, with snippets of conversation, people walking, cycling and the occasional jogger passing by. I wondered how this would all sound if it were continually layered over in a continuous loop in the style of Frippertronics. "I used an experimental dual looper to capture and over-dub the original sounds, with each …

"I chose this recording because I’ve always been interested in reimagining folk music, and I’ve previously created an album that incorporates elements of Chinese folk traditions.
