Hyena signal - industrial drift
03/06/2026 | 5 min
"Hyena Signal (Industrial Drift) is an evolving piece born from a collaboration between Karhide and Deep Dive Sound, shaped around snippets of the recording “Maasai Tribe: Songs of the Widows.” The work emerged through a natural creative process, blending Karhide’s post rock and drone influenced textures with Deep Dive Sound’s nature immersed ambient layers and distinctive field recordings.
"Karhide created the first sonic foundations of the track through guitar driven textures and fragile harmonic movements, opening space for Deep Dive Sound to build a narrative through sound and atmosphere. Field recordings captured across Maasai lands allow elements of place, memory, and lived experience to become an integral part of the music itself.
"The result is an immersive sonic journey where ambient, drone, and ethnographic sound merge into a deeply organic listening experience that reflects both fragility and strength through landscape, memory, and voice."
Maasai song reimagined by Karhide and Deep Dive Sound.
Multi-layered town hall staircase fountain
03/06/2026 | 4 min
Outside Oslo's impressive, somewhat brutalist town hall building, there is a large "staircase fountain" with many layers - here we record the sounds from this fountain from many different depths and angles, with the faint sounds of the city at 10.00pm on a quiret evening behind us.
Recorded in Oslo, Norway by Cities and Memory, May 2025.

Recorded in 2025. I recorded the sounds of the forest near my house.
This is a walking trail for the neighbours. There is running water side the path and you can hear the communication of birds. This is my first field recording work.

À propos de Cities and Memory - remixing the world

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.
