"It was strange and daunting to select a church service as my starting point, but I was drawn to it. My main focus thematically was on struggle and renewal, and how we try to explain the inexplicable." Oslo Domkirke reimagined by Eulipion Corps.

"I used recordings from Norwegian ferry and ferries in Bainbridge Island and the San Juan Islands. I have been in love with ferries and the sea since childhood. I used harmonics from wind sound through metal guardrails in boat for base harmonies and synthesizers to build in these harmonies and accentuate movement on the water and the cabin of the ferry." Grssholmen ferry, Oslo reimagined by Robert Dansby.

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.
