  • サマリー

  • 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 6,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 120 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 http://www.citiesandmemory.com

  • Autumn's ritual

    Autumn's ritual
    2024/12/19
    "The bells of the reindeer are used throughout the piece, blended with the chimes and drum to create a dark paganesque soundscape. The words were a collaboration with Bianca Chudley le Corre.

    "It is a meditation on the lives of the reindeer herder, the rituals as autumn passes to winter, the knowledge of routes & tradition passed down through the generations.
    What started as a Breton inspired acoustic folk tune soon developed into this brooding songscape."

    Reindeer bells in Mongolia reimagined by Daniel Chudley - Le Corre.

  • Now you can cross the road safely

    Now you can cross the road safely
    2024/12/19
    "When I first heard the ticking of the traffic light in the field recording, I instantly recognized its potential and shared it with my bandmates, Sandeep and Darren. We decided to use it as the rhythm section's backbeat and composed guitar and bass parts around it.

    "It's amazing how this traffic light in Greece uses various sounds to guide pedestrians, including a female voice instructing them to wait or cross safely.

    "Inspired by the idea of representing 'change' musically, we composed a dynamic track with four distinct sections, transitioning between them in both smooth and abrupt ways. The track evolves gradually, beginning with a field recording and muted arpeggiated synth before building into a full band with acoustic guitar, bass, and drums. It transitions to a quiet bridge that draws the listener in, followed by an intense section with wailing electric guitars, sawtooth synth leads, distorted bass, louder drums, and a fast-ticking rhythm from the field recording, amplifying the chaos. This climactic section fades into a serene piano piece by Samantha, mirrored by Sandeep on guitar and accompanied by Darren, playing chords on his bass guitar.

    "With each listen, the song reveals a new story of our friendship — born over a decade ago, tested by ups and downs, but ultimately strengthened into a lasting bond. This project brought us back to the studio after a long break, creating music and memories alike."

    Athens traffic light reimagined by Matsya.

  • Spring reindeer bells in Khingan

    Spring reindeer bells in Khingan
    2024/12/19
    In west-north Khinga mountains, there is a very special community called Chinese Evenki. Their language is disappearing with the traditional migration life. And it's happening in the last 30 years. They used to live with reindeers in the deep mountains. And they were hunters.

    But when I was there, only around 20 people in the mountain who take care of the reindeers. YES, they look after them NOT live with them.

    What those reindeers can help is antler velvet and photos with tourists in summer. Only few of younger Evenki would like go to the mountain with older generations, but more for taking care of the elders. Most of younger Evenki even can not speak their language. So I took few days to keep the reindeer bells echo in the mountains.
