Cities and Memory

Cities and Memory is one of the world’s largest sound projects, with more than 1,700 artists contributing to our goal of remixing the world, one sound at a time.

Encompassing field recording, sound art and sound mapping, every location on the Cities and Memory sound map features two sounds: the original field recording of that place, and a reimagined sound that presents that place and time as somewhere else, somewhere new.

The listener can explore places through their actual sounds, to explore reimagined versions of what those places could be – or to flip between the two different sound worlds at leisure.

There are more than 6,000 sounds featured on our sound map, spread over more than 120 countries and territories. You can explore the project in full at www.citiesandmemory.com
